Experience

Archival Experience

I worked in the St. John's University Archives & Special Collections for over 10 years, managing both the physical and digital collections.

Digitization and Photography

Using flatbed scanners and DSLR cameras, I have digitized many rare books for my clients. I have also created exciting social media channels featuring digitized historical artifacts and documents.

Genealogical Research

I began my genealogical journey by charting my own family history. Subsequently, I have helped other people answer specific questions about their family's origins.
