ago, and taught in the public school system there. Deemed a master teacher, she was taken out of the classroom and assigned the job “teacher-trainer”
and given the responsibility of teaching first year teachers and para-professionals how to teach reading to struggling elementary students.
She was subsequently employed by the State University of New York and held many posts during her tenure in the university system, including assistant
director of Career Planning and Placement, assistant director of EOC (Educational Opportunity Centers), assistant director of EOP (Educational
Opportunity Programs), Counselor for special programs, tutor coordinator and Director of Student Activities.
Eva is now a retired college administrator, but before leaving the state of New York, she was appointed by the mayor of Syracuse to the position of
First Deputy Commissioner for the department of Parks and Recreation.
Now back at home, she teaches in the Cumberland County school system, and spends her free time decorating, entertaining and looking forward to
publishing her next books, You Were There All The Time, and the Power of Friendship. Eva Smith is author of the eloquently written book, Through the
Darkness, also published by Authorhouse.ver menos
