What are your qualifications?

Work. In my former life, I was a marketing/communications specialist + meeting/event planner for various luxury hotels, resorts and tourism bureaus. My end-result dedication was essentially the same: delivering unforgettable and world-class experiences to discerning clients.

Travel. I was born with the wanderlust gene. My travels have taken me to many amazing places globally so as to feel as though I’ve hardly traveled at all. In addition to my US green card status, I also enjoy dual Swiss-Canadian citizenship. I have lived in several locales across Canada and once upon a long time ago, spent an incredible year abroad as an ex-pat in Pakistan.

School. Living at the crossroads of Asia and the Silk Road was a cultural-awakening which immediately spurred my return to school, to dovetail my previous Associate’s Degree studies in Business Administration and Tourism Marketing. In those latter years, when I wasn’t holed up in the university library, lost in religious and ritual studies, I was doing double duty in pursuit of my English Studies minor. This has translated into earning dubious expert status as a dangling modifier spotter, and a bit of a hoarding reputation for my ever-growing addiction to poetry of love, death and the human condition.

There is no single, perfect blend of inherent qualifications for this work. We all bring our own unique set of skills, experiences and attention to detail to our ceremonial work as Celebrants. This eclectic tapestry just happen to be mine.
