Ms. Heiserman's professional journey also included teaching English and communication skills from junior high school through college levels. Her dedication to her industry is reflected in her membership with organizations such as the Independent Publishers of New England, the National Education Association, the Association of Women Executives in Corrections, and the Editorial Freelancers Association.
