I first trained as a celebrant with John Figdor, the former humanist chaplain of Stanford University as well as the Kochhar Humanist Education Program of the Humanist Institute.
I am certified by the Humanist Society, an adjunct of the American Humanist Association, and have officiated numerous ceremonies in Los Angeles, Savannah, and Detroit.
I was a member of the Board of Directors of the Humanist Society, and am a contributing writer to the Humanist magazine and TheHumanist.com as well as other publications.
In 2018, I completed my first unit of clinical pastoral education at Beaumont Hospital in Michigan and began a Master of Divinity program at Meadville Lombard Theological School, which I completed in May of 2022.
Following that, I achieved preliminary fellowship with the Unitarian Universalist Association and was ordained a UU minister by Northwest UU Congregation of Southfield, MI.
Most recently, I finished a year-long chaplain residency at Children's Hostpial Los Angeles and am in the process of completing my second residency there.
