I am a Certified Life-Cycle Celebrant® and ordained non-denominational minister. I am a graduate of the Celebrant Foundation & Institute and I'm certified to officiate civil, nondenominational, intercultural and interfaith ceremonies in New Jersey. I began my public speaking career over ten  years ago as a Deacon/Lay preacher in the Lutheran church.  I live in Northern New Jersey with my husband and son. I have a degree in Public Administration and have worked in the public sector for over 20 years.

I became a Certified Life-Cycle Celebrant® to help others create ceremonies that reflect their own beliefs and values. I strive to work with individuals to create ceremonies that will celebrate the milestones of your life in a way that represents who they are and what their lives stand for!
