Judith worked as a Sr. Project Manager/Analyst in the technology sector where the successful design, implementation and security of systems requires process, methodology, analysis and risk mitigation skills. When executed properly genealogical work utilizes those same skills.

As a child Judith peppered her great-grandmother with questions about her ancestors, starting a life-long passion for genealogy. In 1979 she started examining microfilm at her local Family History Center and writing letters requesting vital, cemetery and church records. In the early 2000s she began helping adoptees to locate their birth families. From 1999 to 2014 she served as a volunteer staff member at her local Family History Center, helping others to plan their research and teaching them how to accurately locate their ancestors.
