"I love my job as a Registered Civil Marriage Celebrant
in the Mandurah and Peel district of Western Australia."

I retired from full time professional work as a high school teacher 8 years ago, and then had the time to qualify as a Civil Marriage Celebrant, something I had long thought I would like to do.

My role as a Marriage Celebrant has brought me a great deal of happiness and satisfaction as well as the opportunity of meeting a wide range of interesting people.

I get great pleasure from creating memorable marriage ceremonies that fit with the desires and the personalities of my clients.

I have lived in Mandurah for over 20 years and my family loves the lifestyle it offers.

My husband and I have been married for 40 years and have 2 children and 2 grandchildren who still live in the Mandurah area.

We love the ocean and regularly swim at some of Mandurah's beautiful beaches close to our home.

I am a keen member of the Mandurah Over 55 Cycling Club and am continually amazed at the beauty of the Mandurah area as I cycle along the ocean front, the estuary and the rivers.

I believe that marriage is the cornerstone of our society. The love on which it is founded and the commitment and dedication needed to make a marriage work, provide a stable environment in which our next generation can be nurtured and grow to be valuable and effective contributors to the future of our country.

I embrace the new laws that allow same sex marriage and see this as a right and a freedom that will enhance and enrich the concepts of family and society.
