Member of the Austrian Chamber of Commerce (WKO) and the Hungarian Society for Family History Research (MACSE). Founder and co-Admin of the Facebook group “The Israeli Genealogy Hub”.
I hold a BFA in Film and Television and an MA in Jewish History from Tel Aviv University, graduating with honors in the Inter-University Program that specializes in Russian and Eastern European Studies. My BFA studies included Narratology, investigative research, and New Media, while my Master’s degree allowed me to deepen and broaden my expertise in Jewish history and genealogy of the former Austrian-Hungarian Empire.
My expertise includes tracing family lines, gathering historical documents, tracing living heirs, and creating personalized family histories. I'm dedicated to making genealogy an immersive experience and love guiding clients through their ancestral journeys, ensuring their connections to the past are not only documented but celebrated.
I offer my services to English- and Hebrew-speaking clients but can handle genealogical material in German (including older handwritten scripts), Hungarian, Slovak, Yiddish, and English.
