History
Established in 2008.
When I entered seminary in 1995, one of my dreams was to perform weddings. After graduating but not seeking denominational ordination, I put my dream on hold. In 2008, I finally decided to be ordained by the Church of Spiritual Humanism, and church that values rational thought and respects each person's right to their own spiritual path.
I am delighted to be performing weddings now. It is such an honor to be entrusted with the responsibility of creating and leading such joyful occasions. My only regret is not being ordained sooner.

Born and raised in Texas, I graduated from Texas A&M in 1991 with a degree in Landscape Architecture. Since graduating, I've had the pleasure of living and working in Dallas, Texas; Birmingham, Alabama; Cullowhee, North Carolina; and Chicago, Illinois. I now live with my husband in Arleta, CA.
I've also been fortunate enough to have traveled to Mexico, Canada, Guatemala, South Korea and throughout the US and Europe.
My many jobs have included urban design, campus ministry, refugee resettlement, and Starbucks barista. My current 9-5 job is at the Ithaca College Los Angeles Program as the Programs & Services Coordinator.
Being a wedding officiant has been a great way to meet new folks in the Los Angeles area and share the happiness of their wedding ceremonies. It's a side-job that I treasure for the joy I get to experience and satisfaction of helping couples realize the wedding ceremony of their dreams.
