I retired in 2020 and became a commissioned Notary shortly after that. I must admit to being nervous to get started. I was hoping to find a Notary in Sussex / Morris County that I could meet with and possibly shadow, to get some experience. Thank you, Mark

I scaled up my business and started doing Compliance Services

Hey Community! I’m very pleased to welcome my very good friend and fellow Notary Nerd, @Chrissey Hunsaker (formerly Chrissey Ladd), to the NJNA Community. While Chrissey is no longer a commissioned New Jersey Notary after relocating to the West Coast, she spent many years serving as a NJ Notary and remains deeply connected to this profession. During that time, she was also my business partner, a wedding client of mine, and went on to earn national recognition as the National Notary Association’s Notary of the Year in 2011. Chrissey brings a strong professional background in banking, mortgage services, and regulatory compliance. She has an exceptional ability to analyze documents, processes, and notarial practices, and she is especially skilled at identifying issues before they become problems. That experience and perspective make her a valuable resource for any notary who wants to better understand the business, compliance, and risk management side of this field. We are fortunate to have her voice, insight, and experience in this community, and I know many of you will benefit from the knowledge she brings to the table. Thanks for joining us here, Chrissey. – Patrick
