When I first started working with DNA in genealogy, I saw so many people—smart, curious, passionate about their families—get stuck or give up because the science felt intimidating. I’ve spent over two decades translating complex DNA concepts into clear, actionable steps for real people, not just scientists. My background in biology and years as a genetic genealogy educator have shown me exactly where learners hesitate, what confuses them, and what kind of support actually helps them move forward.
As the founder of Your DNA Guide, I’ve had the privilege of helping thousands of people make meaningful discoveries about their families using DNA. I’ve seen firsthand how empowering it is when someone who never thought of themselves as a “DNA person” suddenly breaks through a brick wall or finds a new connection. That’s what drives me: making DNA accessible, practical, and genuinely useful for everyone.
This app is the next step in that mission. I designed it to meet you exactly where you are—whether you’re just opening your DNA results for the first time or you’ve been puzzling over matches for years. Every feature is built on proven teaching methods and real-world experience, guiding you step-by-step through the process of using your DNA results to answer your own family history questions.
My hope is that this app gives you something even better than answers. It gives you the skills and confidence to keep finding them. I’m honored to be part of your journey.
