Her focus is on understanding the chronology and context of military records, so as to more accurately interpret and analyze their content. She is a retired Army officer with over 20 years of active duty service and a member of the Society for Military History. 

Sub-specialties are African American personnel of WWI and WW2; WW2 Army Air Forces (aka Air Corps) personnel; and WWI Army unit records.  She also has a working familiarity with WWI- and WW2-era Federal Agencies and their records.
