With nearly a decade of immersive experience in the funeral industry, I bring profound expertise across various facets of the death care profession. My journey spans roles as a Funeral Director in full-service funeral homes, cemetery and mausoleum combinations, and family-owned establishments. Throughout my career, I've adeptly managed direct disposition (cremation and burial) families, both in-person and remotely, and am particularly skilled in body removal—a task I've performed with precision and compassion.While I am a novice in embalming, I have received formal education in this field. Currently, I excel in a specialized and advanced capacity, leveraging my comprehensive understanding of the industry to drive operational excellence and compassionate service delivery.I am a strong advocate for radical death and community care, believing that these principles are essential in transforming the way we approach grief and memorialization. My own experience as a queer individual gives me a unique perspective and a deeper empathy, allowing me to support and understand diverse expressions of grief and death. This intersection of my professional expertise and personal identity equips me to challenge outdated norms and foster inclusive, supportive environments for all.Passionate about fostering a more inclusive approach to funeral services, I strive to create spaces that honor diversity, resilience, and the beauty of the human experience. Whether helping families navigate loss or organizing community events, my goal is to cultivate connections that embrace and celebrate the full spectrum of human experiences.
