About Me

Before becoming a notary, I had a 22-year career in environmental consulting. While I enjoyed the work, and was good at what I did, after 22-years, it was time to move on. Consulting is client-focused and deadline-driven with a strong emphasis on quality assurance. I was known for my high-quality work then, and I bring those same standards to this role.

I participate in weekly continuing education on both notary and Apostille topics, and the documents that relate to them through two programs whose mission is to elevate our industry in professionalism and technical competency.

As your notary, I play a small but meaningful role, offering support and expertise when it matters most. Every day brings a new story and a new opportunity to help clients in my community reach goals large or small.

I have been told I have a calm nature, and I handle all clients equally with professionalism, empathy, and discretion. One of my goals in this role is to be a connector in our community. If I can’t help you, I will find someone who can.

I’ve always wanted to own my own business. I’m proud of what I’ve created here, and I hope it shines through as we work together.

My Training

All California notaries must take an initial 6-hour course, pass a state exam on basic notarial law, and renew every four years. California is known for having one of the most challenging exams in the nation. You’re in good hands when you work with a California notary.
