About

Hello!

I graduated in December 2024 with a Masters degree in Archives and Records Administration from San José State University. Before that, I earned my Bachelors degree in Cinema from San Francisco State University.

During my time in my graduate program, I took classes in genealogy and digitization. Genealogy has been a long-time hobby of mine, and I started researching my own family’s history in 2008. I have extensive experience researching people in the United States and the United Kingdom.

I’m passionate about history & historic preservation, genealogy, education, and the arts. I enjoy photography, photo and video editing, 60s British Invasion music, and researching random topics that interest me.
