Family storytelling

Capture your family's story

Bring your family tree to life by capturing the stories and details that make your family unique! Capturing your family's history in writing preserves it for generations to come. 


Preserve your family history by purchasing one of my storytelling packages for yourself or a family member.

What I do

I'm a professional writer with 20 years of experience. I'm passionate about storytelling and preserving family history. 


  • Interviews. I love meeting new people, listening to their stories and drawing out engaging, thought-provoking details. 
  • Research. I conduct research about people, times and places. These details help readers connect with history.
  • Writing. I write stories that bring people and places to life, helping readers develop an understanding of and appreciation for the past.


Let's talk about how I can help you find, share and preserve your family history!
