Family history is about more than names and dates. It is about understanding the people, places and moments that shaped the lives of those who came before us, and how their stories continue to shape our own.

I founded The Huntress to help people uncover, understand and preserve those stories through evidence-based genealogical research, historical records and social context. Whether solving a long-standing family mystery, interpreting DNA results or bringing an ancestor's life into focus, my aim is always the same: to restore humanity to the record.

Like many people, my journey into family history began with curiosity. A handful of names, a few family stories and a desire to understand where I came from gradually became a lifelong passion. Over more than twenty-five years, that personal interest evolved into professional genealogical research and a commitment to helping others discover the stories within their own families.

Today, I research family histories across Australia and internationally, working with records from the United Kingdom, the Netherlands, Brazil, the United States, Denmark and beyond. I am fluent in English, Greek and Portuguese, allowing me to work more directly with records and communities that are not always easily accessible.

I hold a Diploma in Family History from the University of Tasmania and a Certificate in Genealogical Research from the Society of Australian Genealogists. I am also an accredited member of the Association of Professional Genealogists.

While much of my work involves helping people move beyond genealogy "brick walls", I believe the greatest value of family history lies beyond simply identifying names and dates. Every record exists within a broader historical story. My work combines careful research with historical context to help people understand not only who their ancestors were, but how they lived, the challenges they faced and the communities they helped shape.

Because when we understand the lives behind the records, family history becomes more than genealogy. It becomes history made personal.
