I joined the Court of Seattle in 1985.   I ran won my first title, Queen of the Seas 11, in 1986.  I was elected as Imperial Princess 13 in 1988.  In 1994, I won Miss Gay Washington.  In 2001, I was elected as Olympia 31. 

In my 22 year history with The Court of Seattle, I have held the position of Secretary, Vice-President and  I am the current President of the Board.  I was one of the founding members of our Imperial Prince and Princess Council and have held the position of Chancellor 4 times.  In addition to producing our major events, I was  nominated and appointed representative to the ICS convention held in Palm Springs in 2005.  I have also been  The Court’s representative to our local Gay and Lesbian Chamber of Business , the Greater Seattle Business Association (GSBA)  where I  networked with our local business owners. 

I started our original website in 1999 and was the Webmaster until 2001.  I currently am the Webmaster again taking the position back in 2005.  I wrote, edited and did the production Lay-out for our Court Newsletter from 2000- 2001. 

I worked for over 10 years in Government for the City of Seattle.  While working there, I was instrumental in forcing the Departments to require AIDS awareness education just after the American with Disabilities Act was signed.   I received special recognition from the Mayor for my proactive push to educate our employees.  I also volunteered with our City Department of Human Rights specifically dealing with discrimination faced by those diagnosed with AIDS 

I volunteered with The Northwest AIDS Foundation on their Speaker’s Bureau for over 7 years where I educated  business and schools on HIV and AIDS.   I also volunteered for over 4 years at The Seattle AIDS Support Group where I lead a support group for those affected by AIDS.   

I began as a cast-member in 1988 and I am now co-owner and emcee of “Those Fabulous Fakes”, a professional female impersonation review seen all over the State of Washington in Casinos, Nightclubs, corporate events and private bookings.   

I  married my partner, Victor in San Francisco in 2004 and we live suburb just north of Seattle.  We are fortunate to be very close to both of our families.  We have many nieces and nephews and we often care for an elderly grandparent  when Victor’s parents are out of town.  In our cul-de-sac, we are just another “typical American family”. 

I am very active in local politics.  I helped write our state democratic platform to ensure inclusion of Gay, Lesbian, and Transgender rights.  I have helped raise money for Equal Rights of Washington which is leading the fight for our State’s Gay Marriage.  I was also very active with Hands Off Washington a few years back that successfully stopped an anti-gay initiative from being passed.
