I took my first steps working in the funeral industry part time while going through the Sierra College Regional Fire Academy and eventually became a Fire Fighter with Higgins Fire Department just outside of Auburn. After serving our community, I became a full time Funeral Arranger with Lassila Funeral Chapel and the Operations Manager shortly after. The training and experience I've received from being a local firefighter and an employee of a funeral home has helped shape me to be able to care of the most important people to us, our loved ones. Born, raised, and living in the Sacramento area, I have recently relocated to Arroyo Grande to continue my passion of servatude to the community with Lady Family Mortuary. My goal is to be able to take care of everyone in our community and show them the compassion and love that they deserve.
