I received my Bachelor of Arts degree in history with a historic preservation minor, as well as a Master's degree in Nonprofit Administration. I have 15 years of experience in nonprofit development (and ten years before that in everything else imaginable). I currently work with volunteers at SSM Health in the St. Louis area.

Cemeteries are one of my passions - they appeal to my sense of history, family, and art. The statuary in some cemeteries is gorgeous and of the highest artistic quality. I am interested in family research, but I also help very close friends trace their history.

I am currently adding information to my family memorials: Pratt, Launius, Ziegenhorn, and Collier are my four direct family names. Thanks for any assistance you can give me!
