Being a notary is not my side job or a hobby. It is my profession. I hold a Louisiana Civil Law Notary commission, widely recognized as the most rigorous notary credential in the United States, requiring a level of legal knowledge closer to that of a civil law jurisdiction than a typical notary public role.

I'm also an NNA Certified Signing Agent, bringing the same discipline that nearly a decade in law enforcement instilled in me: precision, accountability, and zero tolerance for error on documents where mistakes carry real consequences.

As owner of Rouge Notary & Tax Services, I operate full-time, with priority availability for urgent and after-hours closings. Beyond mortgage signings, my practice handles Louisiana estate-planning and civil-law instruments, including wills, powers of attorney, donations, affidavits, and successions, giving me deep, working fluency in legal document structure that translates directly into flawless closing packages.

My credentials extend further still: a Paralegal Certificate from the University of Louisiana at Lafayette, an in-progress Business Administration degree with a Business Law minor, and published author status. This is a career built on continuous legal education.

Years patrolling homes, hospitals, businesses, and care facilities trained me to bring calm, professional composure into any environment, high-value, high-pressure, or high-emotion. I understand that I represent the lender, title company, and signing service every time I walk through a door, and I conduct myself accordingly: punctual, prepared, and precise.

Rouge operates a dedicated office and a fully mobile field unit, complete with commercial-grade laser printing, portable scanning, and secure mobile workstations, built for immediate scanbacks and same-day shipping. Every package is checked line by line for signatures, initials, dates, and notarial completeness before it leaves my hands. Communication runs continuously from confirmation through delivery, so you're never left wondering about status.

Reliability isn't a promise here. It's the standard I was trained to uphold long before I became a notary.
