About Me.

I became a Celebrant in June 2016 - and extremely excited to say so! Trained by the Celebrant Training College and a Member of CANZ. I had been to a few weddings where I thought..."You know what? I could do that!" So here we are.

I love Weddings - who doesn't?? 

I was a born organizer and public speaker. I grew up living in Japan and Australia as well as New Zealand with my family and believe that that has made me the person I am today.

(I can even bring out the Japanese in a ceremony if you need me to!)

I am based in Reporoa on a dairy farm, but work during the week in Taupo as a travel agent. Got to have that farm/town life balance!
I am a keen rugby supporter and love snow and water skiing.

I can comfortably get along with people from all walks of life. I hope to bring something new to the wedding industry! I am not afraid to break with tradition and create a modern and current ceremony for you.
