Insight Certified Funeral Celebrant
From a quiet childhood in Ontario farm country I moved to Hamilton, where I spent many years as a committed teacher and educational leader, guiding students and teachers to reach their potential.
I have a strong background in music and drama and have performed in a wide variety of settings, from sacred services to musical theatre.
My life’s work has been centred around people and the stories they live. I find joy in connecting with family and friends, and always look forward to being together again the minute we part.
I love to hike and bike the trails of the Dundas Valley along the edge of the beautiful Niagara Escarpment with my husband. I routinely stop to take vacation photos for random strangers or to pat new four-legged friends.
