“Mary...was so flexible, collaborative, and absolutely amazing to work with. Mary is an absolute gem”
Mary Lim
VISION
I have devoted my career to engaging humans who have been muted, ignored or forgotten. I believe that we should expand ways that we express love and care for each other and for our planet.
EVOLVING FAITH
I identify as Roman Catholic and have been a professional community organizer among people of faith for 15 years. I am grateful for the opportunity to explore with couples how they want to express their values (whether it be with the language of faith or not) in their ceremony. Let's get creative!
ABOUT ME
I am a resident of Oakland and work as the Executive Director of Genesis, a faith/community based organization. My 15 year career as a community organizer is informed by two things: 1) being the proud daughter of Chinese immigrants and 2) being the mom of a fierce, courageous 16 year old.
Community organizing is connected to my work as a wedding officiant, as both focus on creating a love story among us as humans.
I have a B.A (cum laude) in Political Science from University of Missouri-Saint Louis and a Juris Doctorate from Saint Louis University.
