Cohen, Debbie-website

Hello,

I'm Debbie Cohen

Northeast Area Yearbook Representative

My Story

Preserving school memories has been my passion since I edited my own high school yearbook. Now, it’s my privilege to work with schools throughout the northeast, enabling students to tell their story by creating award-winning yearbooks with Walsworth. I specialize in everything you need - from design, writing, marketing and technology, to having fun.

As a partner to my advisers, I support your efforts through cover, theme and creative inspiration; staff training and motivation; project management and helping to market your yearbook and ads. My commitment to in-school visits and extensive availability result in teamwork that helps you produce an outstanding yearbook which arrives on time and within budget.

Whether you’re a seasoned adviser or new to yearbooks, I thank you for the opportunity to discuss your school’s yearbook program.

What People Are Saying...

Advisers are raving about Debbie! Check out the quotes below and take a look at this letter from Northwestern Regional High School 7.

I had the privilege of working with Debbie during my first year of teaching. She served as my Yearbook Representative, and I remain thankful for her advice, guidance, encouragement and friendship during this time.

Debbie reached out before the school year even started. She was honest but reassuring. Debbie promptly answered any emails, phone calls or messages and I could always count on her to provide the information I needed. She was a partner and advocate in the process of creating a book of memories that my yearbook staff and I were incredibly proud of. Her vast knowledge of the industry and knowledge of the necessary procedures to reach a desirable result were invaluable. Debbie also had a way of explaining information in a way that was understandable for me and for my students.

I would highly recommend Debbie to any school that is lucky enough to have her assigned to them. She goes above and beyond in every way!

2023 Testimonials

2023 Testimonials

"The support given by Debbie Cohen is exemplary.  Debbie helps train the new yearbook staff on all aspects of creating the yearbook. She is always there to assist in the theme development and implementation, help with any issues that may arise during the year. Debbie will also come and train the adviser and staff members as much as needed until they feel comfortable. She is always available to answer any questions and help with page design and editing." 

2023 Testimonials

"Debbie has been a critical piece in making our yearbook a success, and teaching my co-advisor and I the essentials of creating a book. She sacrificed her own time and energy to help us when we were stranded, and allowed us to produce a book we can be proud to call our own. On several occasions I called Debbie on a weekend expecting an answer on Monday and instead she called me back in less than an hour. She truly is the gem to my first year Yearbook Advisor experience. Debbie Cohen didn’t just help us make our first year great; she is the reason our first year was great."

2023 Testimonials

"Debbie Cohen goes the extra mile every time. Not just the first year, but every year.  Our relationship with Debbie is collaborative.  She wants our yearbook to bring smiles to our students’ faces as much as we do. Our greatest regret is that we were not able to utilize all of Debbie’s great ideas (e.g., the use of elaborate themes, QR codes, summer workshops, etc.) Debbie was always there to pick up the slack and provide encouragement every week, either through email or in person. We cannot express our gratitude enough to Debbie Cohen for making our job as yearbook advisors manageable and fun."

2023 Testimonials

"We have been most impressed with Deb. She brings enthusiasm and a very clear perspective to us as we have built our book this year. She has been available to us, either in person or via text or phone calls, to deal with our dilemmas as they arise. She has great vision in helping us be as creative as we can and still produce the best book possible." 

2023 Testimonials

"Debbie Cohen has been a gem to work with in producing our yearbooks.  She is always there to lend a helping hand, assist in the training of our staff and developing our yearbook themes, and is a great asset to the yearbook adviser." 

2022 Testimonials

"Debbie receives high praise from her customers. Amanda Gil, adviser at Everett High School, recommended Debbie to work with other advisers in the area due to her outstanding customer service."

2022 Testimonials

"As a first year advisor, I was terrified to jump right in because I had no idea what I was doing. Debbie told me, in person, from day one that she would be by my side and help me through anything I needed. She was 100% telling the truth. Whether it’s through email, text, a phone call, or an in person meeting, Debbie has always been there to answer any questions I have had. She has also listened to me while I’ve been extremely stressed out and helped me figure out how to handle the stressful situation. Debbie’s ideas are top notch. Whether it’s about the book itself, how to get students excited and involved, or marketing for the book and ads, she knows exactly what to do. Also, if you have an idea and are not sure how to implement it, Debbie knows how to make it work. The knowledge and experience Debbie brings to the table is incredibly helpful, I believe, not just for first year advisors but even advisors that have been doing this for years. She also has a great team with her that helps out with anything and everything.

Amazing customer service is so hard to come by, and as a person who worked in the industry for 20 years before working in a school district, I know what it means to be a wonderful representative for a company. Debbie is that for Walsworth. They are extremely lucky to have her. In the beginning of the year, I was unsure if I would continue being an advisor, but now only halfway through the year, because of Debbie’s support, I will continue to be an advisor until Debbie retires."

 

2022 Testimonials

"Deb’s personality is friendly and welcoming, which made the yearbook staff/students feel supported and heard as they worked through page creation.  She was always a sounding board for all creative ideas and was always an email, text, phone call, or school visit away.  Her responsiveness is unparalleled and always made me feel like we were working together like co-advisors.  Deb’s contagious spirit, kindness, and genuine care for others shine through and make her special. 

There is no question Norwood is lucky to have Deb as our contact/representative.  I am so excited to see what the future holds for our yearbook working with Walsworth and their amazing team.  Please do not hesitate to contact me if further information is needed or if I can expand upon my experiences."

2022 Testimonials

"As a new high school yearbook advisor, I relied heavily on Debbie's expertise in publishing and sales. She was always quick to respond--whether we had technical questions or marketing issues, she was there for us. Debbie's easygoing and upbeat demeanor made her a pleasure to interact with. She consistently exceeded our expectations in every way. We wouldn't have had such a successful year without Debbie's energy and know-how."
