About joy

---

It all started when I first felt the rush of public speaking at age 5. Normally, at Christmas pageants, sheep doesn't share a soliloquy, but this sheep had the room captivated with her, "Baaaas", and, "Hi, Mum!"

That wooly, little lamb realized, then and there, that she was destined for public speaking.

Fast forward a few decades *cough, cough* and I still feel a rush when speaking in front of an audience, whether it be at a funeral, wedding, a house of worship, conference, school, or retirement home, to name a few. It was that exact feeling that lead me to get my B.A. in Performance Theatre, win public speaking awards across Ontario, and perform overseas in the United Kingdom. 

In 2016, I was asked by a dear friend to perform her ceremony. "What??", was my reply but, "Of course!", was my answer. It was on that fateful wedding day that I was encouraged to become a wedding officiant. 

Over the years, I realized I wanted to bring the same professionalism and compassion for weddings to funerals. I knocked on every funeral home door, in 2018, and have come to love sharing the memories and stories of loved​ ones. ​

2020 is the year I branched out into celebrating through singing and performing. Karaoke is the means, having fun is the method.
