I am a photographer, genealogist, business owner, and avid reader. I believe in life long learning.  

I grew up in rural Maine;  deep within me lies the quiet spirit of the rural New England landscape: pine forests, lakes, ocean, and my beloved Appalachians.

My past experiences include a post secondary education in languages, history, writing and business.  I have a life-long interest in genealogy.  I hold an advanced level genealogy certificate in Canadian Studies and Methodology. I spent the best fifteen years of my life homeschooling my now grown and successful children.   I also run a photography based business, pursue fine art photography on the side. I also work as a professional genealogist.
