My genealogy journey began in 2011 when I started researching for my own Italian-American dual citizenship journey. In 2013, I was officially recognized as an Italian citizen and made the move to Umbria, Italy, where I’ve been able to deepen my connection to Italian culture and its historical archives. I hold a Certificate in Genealogical Research from Boston University and have completed advanced studies through the Genealogical Research Institute of Pittsburgh (GRIP) and the ProGen Study Group. My specialties include Italian birth, marriage, death, military, and land records, as well as writing detailed family histories.
With a background in Cultural Anthropology and a Master’s degree in Teaching English as a Second Language from Colorado State University, I bring a unique cross-cultural perspective to my genealogical work. I am proud to be a member of the Association of Professional Genealogists, the National Genealogical Society, and the Italian Genealogical Group, and I’m also an active alumna of the ProGen Study Group. My work is driven by a passion for uncovering family stories and helping others connect with their roots, particularly within the Italian-American community.
