Having performed Wedding Ceremonies for the past fifteen years, I find myself to be one of those fortunate people who find themselves in the enviable position of truly loving their calling.

I grew up in West Hollywood, California and graduated from Hollywood High. I then attended college in Long Beach. After graduation, I worked for twenty years in Critical Care Medicine. I spent most of my career in ICU where I witnessed the many triumphs and tragedies of life.

Along with my Nursing career, I began public speaking with The American Heart Association as an Instructor and a Fund Raiser. I also became a Clinical Instructor at Long Beach City College. After retiring from Nursing, I became a Volunteer, a Speaker and Fund Raiser for a Pet Therapy Project here in San Diego County.

If it wasn’t for volunteering with the Pet Therapy Project, I would never have chosen my path to the Ministry. When I would take my dogs to visit the elderly in hospitals, the patients not only loved to visit with the pets, but they often wished to say a short prayer before we left.

This was the beginning of my journey.  I became a Wedding Officiant and I must say, it has been very fulfilling.  My nursing career gave me the skills to be calm, detailed and well organized.  My public speaking experiences made me feel very comfortable in addressing large crowds.  I performed civil Weddings for the County of San Diego from 2006 to 2010.

At home, I am married to a wonderful man, Ken, who is a professional pilot. We have three children and eight grandchildren. We also have a Mini-Dachshund named Hunter, who keeps our home lively.  We are blessed to have family and friends who keep our lives very full and happy.

When it comes to choosing your Wedding Minister, being selective is so important. I hope you will allow me the honor of being part of your Wedding Day! I am dedicated to crafting the perfect Wedding Ceremony for you and your fiancé — and that is my promise!
