I am a Genealogist and Case Manager at Emrich International Probate Research, where I specialize in building documented family trees to identify legal heirs in intestate probate cases. I joined Emrich in 2023 after eight years running my own genealogy company, History Runner. There, I worked closely with families to uncover personal histories and place individual stories within broader social and world history contexts. I bring this same analytical approach, critical thinking, and extensive records experience to my work at Emrich.

In addition to my role as a genealogist, I also guide clients navigating the probate process and work alongside estate attorneys to ensure every client remains informed and supported throughout the process.

I hold a Bachelor of Science Degree from Northland International University in Secondary Education: History; and a Master of Science Degree in Recreation, Sport and Tourism from the University of Illinois.
