Business Owner

• Jan 2013 - Present

I'm a modern day family history storyteller—one who uses photos, video, audio and the written word to educate, entertain, and give voice to past and present personal experiences. Working through the discovery process with individuals and groups, I enjoy seeing how exploring one’s roots creates an opportunity for participants to reflect on their moral compass and establish their place in history. I’m proud to be part of a movement that fosters pride, personal growth, and a feeling of accomplishment. Show less
