About me
Zhie has been an academic librarian for over two decades and teaching at the college level for nearly twenty-five years. While most contributions have been derivative fandom works and creation of STEAM-based OER for use in makerspaces and classrooms, activities have also included presentations at fan conventions and libraries. Zhie is also the leader of Gondolin, the Tolkien Society Smial serving the Milwaukee/Waukesha Wisconsin USA area.
When not spending time in Middle-earth, Zhie and husband Mark (aka Smaug, a fellow Tolkien aficionado) spend their time creating art, collecting and reading comic books, going to museums, or watching films and history documentaries with their cat (General Patters), tiny parrot (Felix), and rabbit (Priscilla).
