Hello, I’m Cress,
​
I’m a university lecturer and trained celebrant, and I feel incredibly lucky to do work that connects me with people at all stages of life — whether I’m sparking curiosity in the classroom or helping families mark life’s most meaningful moments.
​
In my academic role, I’m passionate about creating an inclusive and engaging space where students feel encouraged to think critically, reflect ethically, and grow with confidence. Teaching is more than a job to me — it’s a joy and a privilege.
​
As a celebrant, I’m here to honour the unique stories that make us who we are. Whether I’m officiating a wedding, leading a funeral, or celebrating another special milestone, I approach every ceremony with warmth, sensitivity, and a genuine commitment to making it truly personal and heartfelt.
​
Outside of work, life is full and wonderful (most of the time). I’m married, with three grown-up children, two beautiful grandchildren, and a house that’s always lively thanks to our collection of much-loved family pets.
​
I’d love to help you with whatever chapter you’re in.
