She is well versed in locating and working with original historic documents onsite in courthouses, archives, and other repositories as well as online. Beyond researching in the States, Dawn has researched onsite in Ireland at the National Library of Ireland, National Archives of Ireland, and the Valuation Office in Dublin.

Dawn received her Certificate in Genealogical Research in 2014 from Boston University, well renowned for their Genealogy program, is a graduate of ProGen 25 and has completed numerous advanced genealogical courses at institutes. She holds a Bachelors Degree in Distributed Studies with an emphasis in International Relations from Iowa State University.

Dawn was recently appointed to Chair the Steering Committee of the Delegate Council for NGS. Dawn has volunteered on several local and state genealogy societies including Fox Valley Genealogy Society as the Conference Chair and the Illinois State Genealogy Society where she served as President, Conference Chair and Genealogy Chair. 

If Dawn is not conducting genealogical research or reading a genealogy book, she's likely planning her next new home decorating project, a trip to anywhere warm or of course, a trip to Ireland!
