Sure! Here's a short bio:

Becoming an ordained minister was a deeply personal and meaningful decision for me. As someone who values connection, celebration, and helping others mark life's milestones, I felt called to provide a welcoming and inclusive space for all individuals and families. Whether it's officiating a wedding, performing a handfasting, or offering blessings for a new home, I’m honored to be a part of these sacred moments. My journey into ministry reflects my desire to support love, unity, and acceptance—values I hold close in both my personal life and my work with Midnight Sun Travel.

With my online ordination, I hope to create meaningful and inclusive ceremonies that celebrate love, connection, and life’s milestones. My goal is to provide a safe and welcoming space for people of all backgrounds, beliefs, and identities to feel seen, valued, and supported during their special moments. Whether it’s officiating a wedding, performing a vow renewal, or blessing a home, I want to help individuals and families create cherished memories that reflect their unique journeys. It’s about bringing joy, authenticity, and compassion to the ceremonies that matter most.

Yes, I approach my work as an ordained minister with an open heart and an inclusive spirit. My goal is to create a welcoming space for people of all faiths, spiritual paths, and non-religious beliefs. While I do not adhere to one specific religious tradition, my ministry is rooted in the values of love, compassion, and unity.

This flexibility allows me to honor the diversity of those I serve, whether they are looking for a traditional religious ceremony, a spiritual but non-denominational experience, or something entirely secular. I’m committed to making every couple feel valued and respected, and I work hard to reflect their beliefs, values, and vision in their ceremony.

What makes my ceremonies special is the personal touch I bring to every moment. I take the time to truly get to know the couples I work with, understanding their story, their values, and their vision for their special day. My focus is on creating a ceremony that feels authentic to who they are—a unique reflection of their love and commitment.

I also specialize in inclusivity, ensuring that every ceremony, whether traditional, spiritual, non-religious, or something entirely unique, honors the couple’s beliefs and preferences. Whether it’s weaving in cultural traditions, crafting custom vows, or creating meaningful rituals like handfasting, my goal is to make each ceremony not just beautiful but deeply personal and memorable.

Yes, I have a special connection to Alaska and love working in the beautiful landscapes it offers. Whether it’s a serene beach, a majestic mountain setting, or a cozy home ceremony, I enjoy tailoring the experience to match the environment and the couple’s vision.

I also have experience with destination ceremonies, combining my expertise in travel planning with my role as a minister. This allows me to seamlessly coordinate weddings in unique or remote locations, ensuring a stress-free experience for the couple.

If you're looking for breathtaking locations or have a particular place in mind, I’d love to collaborate to make your dream ceremony a reality.

I also specialize in adding personalized elements, like writing original ceremonies, incorporating cultural rituals, or including symbolic acts like handfasting or unity candles. These touches make the ceremony not just an event but a heartfelt experience that couples and their guests will cherish forever.

Ultimately, my goal is to provide a space where love takes center stage—a celebration that’s as unique and special as the couple themselves.
