MOI

Well, where do I begin? Not at the beginning - it would take too long! :-) So, for now all interested parties will have to wait just a little while longer, while I get my act together a little better. For now, let's just say I'm a woman, yes the name Noel actually has two dots over the "e" which I am unable to make my computer do (I was always told that meant I was a girl!), I love life and searching for knowledge. I am currently holding down several jobs, and going to school full time. We believe in flexibility in Vermont, so some of my current "jobs" consist of owning and operating a hand weaving and spinning cottage industry, where I custom design weavings and yarns using my personally developed palette of designer colors. I sell reconditioned weaving and spinning equipment, give workshops and lessons and will be raising a few sheep and angora rabbits shortly. That's counted as one job. My former work as an Adjunct Investigator for the criminal court system, responsible for preplea and presentence investigations, led me to an interest in offenders. By subcontracting I performed sex offender assessments within the Vermont Criminal Court System and provided individual and group sex offender counseling.

I am currently pursuing a Masters Degree with primary focus on sex offender treatment. Previous studies focused on sexual abuse victims, memory and repression, and the physiological, neurological and psychological effects of childhood sexual abuse. My Master's thesis was developing a Safeguard Program for sex offenders in community based treatment programs.

Along with my partner Andy, we share a commitment and concern for those who have been sexually abused as children throughout the world. This commitment has led us to assist survivors via the internet however we can and in particular through internet technology. As a result we travel frequently between Canada and the US in this multi national effort :-).

Best to you all - and I hope you will enjoy my web site - feel free to email me with your comments and suggestions -
