I married in 1970, got a teaching certificate, and moved to Vanuatu (South West Pacific) where my son was born.

After that I facilitated and helped establish the sexual assault centre, Amelia Rising, in North Bay. In 1994, having completed my PhD, I was hired as a full-time professor at Laurentian University and worked there for 17 years. Since retiring I have developed a hobby making earrings and selling them on-line (Northernblooms on Etsy). So far I have sold more than 1,200 pairs of earrings to people all around the world.
