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.
I live in Orem, Utah with roommates. When I’m not researching, I am writing, reading, cooking, gardening, knitting, or crocheting.
