      “History remembers only the celebrated, genealogy remembers them all.”
                                            - Laurence Overmire

I am an Author, Digital Archivist, Lecturer, Professional Genealogist, Certified Librarian Assistant, and Professionally Licensed Educator. 

I am a member of the Board of Directors, Hendricks County Museum, where I am also the Digital Collections Manager. 

 

• I earned a Bachelors in Education from Milligan College.

• Masters in Education from Indiana Wesleyan University.  

• Following my passion for genealogy and archives, I obtained additional certification in Genealogical Research from Boston University. 

​

I am an instructor/contributor for the Indiana Memory Project, at Hendricks County, an initiative of digital preservation via the Indiana State Library and State of Indiana.  I research, digitize, and archive historic photographs and documents for the county museum and research historical questions for patrons.  I am preparing for the 2024 Hendricks County Bicentennial Lend-to-Scan Day.  (Details on my "What's Happening," page.)

 

I have written for magazines, genealogical research, journals, and I have a book published regarding the history of the town of Brownsburg in images, "Images of America: Brownsburg," Arcadia Publishing. 

 

I have worked professionally in the field of genealogy since 2008.  This has given me exceptional experience with genealogy records, research, reports, proofs, citations, preservation, and standards.
