Hello! My passion for education runs deep with more than 20+ years experience across multiple levels and disciplines. I have a strong background in curriculum and instructional design with emphasis on critical thinking. Through reflective analysis, I guide clients to nurture social emotional intelligence for self awareness and cultural competency.
With my passion for education and love for research, the public library is one of my favorite places to visit. Meanwhile, I didn’t just become a Professional Genealogist, I was born one. I grew up in a multi-generational household surrounded by living history that shaped every fiber of my being and influenced each cell in my body. My research into my own family background has been life changing but even in the midst of tangled, messy roots I have still been able to cultivate healing.
I’ve lived in Texas, Hawaii, Washington, DC and Wisconsin. Meanwhile, I am a native of Kentucky (where I currently reside). And although my rural upbringing was not ideal, it was GOOD. The values instilled by my great-grandparents provide breadth and depth to all of my work. If you would like to learn more about my background, I invite you to visit the links below.
