I am a professional genealogist and speaker from Massachusetts, specializing in solving genealogical puzzles and teaching family history research. My particular areas of expertise are family history compilation and Colonial New England research. I offer a catalog of current presentations and also design programs tailored to the specific interests of genealogy groups and societies.
I earned my undergraduate degree in Economics from Wellesley College and bring a background in training and development to my genealogical work. I hold a Certificate in Genealogical Research from Boston University's Center for Professional Education and am a long-time member of the Association of Professional Genealogists.
