Before I came to this work as a Celebrant, I spent 15 years building, managing and selling 2 successful event planning companies in Redmond, WA. Prior to this, I was a television news anchor/reporter for five years in three markets and hold a B.A., in Journalism from Syracuse University, New York. In life, I have experienced great joy and great sorrow. I’ve had enough highs and lows in life to know better and a heart that is still optimistic and grateful. I am married to the love of my life and we live on Bainbridge Island with our “fur family” of four special needs dogs, all rescued from neglect/abuse. Greg and I are devoted to dog rescue and rehabilitation and this shared passion is a mission and purpose that fuels our love and commitment (in addition to each other, of course!) We work with several local rescue groups and have a special place in our heart for saving death row dogs. For us, there is no better feeling in life than knowing a living being is free of suffering and is safe.
