Aimée has a master's in English from Northern Michigan University where she studied environmental literature by Native American and science fiction American authors and wrote her thesis, “Worldeaters: An Ecosophical Critique of Western Industrial Civilization in Selected Novels of Linda Hogan and Ursula K. Le Guin.” Although she earned her baccalaureate degree from the University of Wisconsin, she spent five of her six years as an undergraduate at the University of Minnesota and considers this her true focus as an undergraduate. While at the University of Minnesota, she designed her own major to study the philosophy, history and literature/film of both Native American and the general American cultures. Before attending NMU, she was a substitute teacher in L'Anse and taught the history of Western civilization for Gogebic Community College. Since she began teaching at NMU in 2002, first as a graduate student and later as an adjunct instructor. She has taught college composition for the English Department and has been teaching for the Center for Native American Studies since the summer of 2005.
