Even before the DNA results arrived, she delved into an intensive study of DNA intricacies and its applications, a commitment she sustained long after the revelation. With a wealth of experience aiding others in their genealogy quests, branching out to assist individuals with their DNA became a natural progression for Kat.
Beyond her genealogical pursuits, Kat finds joy in cooking, often inventing and reimagining recipes. This culinary passion seamlessly intertwines with her genealogy work, generating food ideas inspired by the nationalities discovered in family trees.
