Honolulu has been my home for almost 4 decades. Moving to Oahu from La Jolla, CA has been one of my most favorite life decisions. I love Hawaii’s ethnic diversity! While I have had many roles over the years; from serving as the Associate Spiritual Leader at Windward Unity Church in Kaneohe, working as the Youth Education Director at Unity Church of Hawaii, to hosting the public television program called “It’s All About Love” with Olelo Community Media for nine years. I Do Hawaiian Weddings came about through volunteering in the men’s prison in ministry of all places! I have also facilitated Toastmasters in the women’s correctional facility among other adventures that have supported me in loving bigger. As an inspirational speaker I’ve been blessed to speak from the east coast of the United States to the tip of S. American in Santiago Chile. People are my passion, as I have found great pleasure is being of service to those discovering and choosing love first.

I would highly recommend I Do Hawaii Weddings to anyone!
