About me:

I was introduced to genealogy through volunteering with FamilySearch as a young missionary in 2014. I took my newfound love of family history to college and earned an Associate degree of Applied Science in Family History Research from BYU-Idaho in 2018. I am currently pursuing an AG through ICAPGen, specializing in U.S. Mid-Atlantic. Aside from researching, I am developing curricula to teach children genealogy. I am passionate about introducing genealogy to the younger generation, and hope that the children I teach develop a love for genealogy that they will carry with them throughout their lives. I live in Orem, Utah with two roommates in a second-floor apartment. My hobbies include gardening on my balcony, cooking, knitting, crocheting, and reading.

Breaking brick walls:

Are you stuck in your research? Overwhelmed by too much information? Struggling to find any information? Unsure where to search next? I can help you. Using my genealogy skills and training, I will begin by analyzing the records you already have to look for clues. Then I will make a research plan based on those clues and knowledge of the time and locality. I will then search for records according to my research plan, documenting all searches. I will report my findings and analysis, as well as negative searches, in a research report. The research report will include recommendations for future research. If I cannot break down your brick wall, I hope to leave you with a hammer or a wrecking ball to break it down yourself.
