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. It’s not uncommon to find Kat having specific cravings at 4 am, a testament to her nocturnal dedication to her pursuits.
A mother of three, grandmother of six, and devoted cat momma, Kat staunchly advocates for everyone’s right to know their biological truth. Volunteering her time, she actively contributes to making this a reality for others. Kat’s genuine care extends to all the DNAngels clients she encounters, whether in her personal capacity as a Search Angel or through various groups and support groups that she consistently attends and helps host.
