Welcome to my web page. I am entering my 16th year at Northern Michigan University, which is located on the southern shore of Lake Superior in the beautiful Upper Peninsula of Michigan. As Professor of English - Secondary Education, I direct the English Education program and courses in secondary methods, writing, young adult literature, and the humanities. For more information, go to www. In 2009, I attended the first CEE Summer biennial Conference in Elmhurst, Ill.

My passion for creating original jewellery pieces propelled me to set up this blog to introduce my work to all. Click on the Gallery links. On the left column for some of my past creations and thoughts. If you wish to own a piece of your own customised jewellery, be it a ring, chain, bracelet, bangle, etc, please feel free to leave me a note.
