As a dedicated genealogist specializing in genealogy research, genetic genealogy (DNA), family history publishing, and the use of technology in genealogy research (particularly AI). I thrive on unraveling complex family histories.
I'm a member of the Association of Professional Genealogists (APG), and have completed advanced training at the Salt Lake Institute of Genealogy and the International Institute of Genealogical Studies, equipping me with top-tier skills in genealogy research and genetic genealogy.
My career began in the technology training and publishing industries, where I worked with leading companies such as Oracle, PeopleSoft, Pearson, and Macmillan. This experience provided me with a unique blend of technical expertise and meticulous research capabilities, which I now apply to my genealogical work.
Today, I leverage my background in technology and publishing to help clients uncover their ancestral roots, decode DNA results, and preserve their family legacies.
