A record-setter in forensic genetic genealogy and human identification. Award-Winning, Internationally Featured Genealogist and Genetic Genealogist as seen on Good Morning America, CBS This Morning, People Magazine, The New York Times, The Associated Press and more. Network appearances including A&E's Cold Case Files, Paula Zahn w/ Investigation Discovery, & Nancy Grace's Bloodline Detectives. Recognized by NJ/PA Governors, & the NJ Legislature.

Widely recognized as a pioneer in the field, I am the youngest individual to ever solely solve a criminal cold case through forensic genetic genealogy. My groundbreaking work includes solving the Marise Chiverella case—the oldest cold case ever solved using this technology in Pennsylvania history—as well as the high-profile cases of Lee Rotatori and Edna Laughman, and various others.

My genealogy journey began at the age of ten, teaching myself to navigate family trees and historical records. At fourteen, I launched my own professional genealogy business and began working genetic genealogy cases, since assisting thousands of individuals in reunifying with biological family members and uncovering lost histories. Enjoy educating others about the wonders of genealogy!
