edit Becoming an Author

Malka has always wanted to be an artist. As a high school student she and her sister wrote skits and "schlok" rock, created the "blue print" for a print magazine for modest clothing and sales. She toyed with the idea of going to art school. The advice that her mother gave her was to have a number of job skills to fall back on so as not to "starve" in pursuit of her dream.

In college Malka majored in Psychology and wrote many papers. Completing one year of college and not wanting to return she began working in a group home and in a nursing home as a Recreation Therapist. The two jobs provided her much satisfaction as she made crafts, and sang with her patients.

Upon returning to college after years of working, Malka relished the opportunity and began to put her thoughts on paper. Her desire to write was ignited.

edit Writing

Malka's first endeavor into writing is a 65 page book discussing the proper ways to present effective resumes. The book explores the function of a resume, what to write, and the mentality of the hiring manager. The book provides tips on being a successful interviewee and lists some career research sources.
