My fascination with history started with a simple question: Who were the ordinary people who came before us, and what were their daily lives really like? This curiosity drove me to study history deeply, leading to my MA degree in History.

Through my academic training, I learned how to navigate complex archives, read difficult old handwriting, and spot clues that others might miss. I realized that my favorite part of historical work is uncovering the personal, human stories hidden inside dusty old documents.
