When I was a little girl, my mom would take me to the Family History Library in Salt Lake City, UT. She taught me all about the joy and thrill of discovering our family. 

​

From April 2013–October 2014 I lived in the Philippines as a missionary for the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints. I fell in love with the language(s), culture, food, and most of all, the people.

 

My experiences amongst the Filipinos solidified my love of family history and genealogy.  In 2017, I graduated from Brigham Young University with a Bachelor's degree in Family History & Genealogy, and have worked professionally ever since.

When I'm not researching or prepping for a conference, you will find me spending time with my husband and our two children. We enjoy hiking and exploring the great outdoors, trying out new recipes, birding, and biking together.
