The
leadership team at The In-Depth Genealogist is pleased to announce their newest
addition, Shannon Combs-Bennett. She will be fulfilling the role of
Creative Director for the organization.
Shannon
began writing for IDG in January 2013. Her contributions and positive
attitude played a significant role in the decision to invite her to become a
partner in the business. Shannon brings a lot of strengths to the table
and we are thrilled to have her as a part of the team.
She
is a graduate of Indiana University and has a Bachelor of Science in Biology
with a focus on genetics. She uses her degree primarily to help others
understand their DNA results as part of her business, T2 Family History.
Shannon also lectures on many topics from genetic genealogy to methodology and
writes for publication. Two of her articles received Honorable Mention in
2013 and 2014 from the ISFHWE Excellence in Writing Competition.
Since
2011 Shannon has been a contributor to Family Tree Magazine and Family Tree
University. She started as their Family Tree First Blogger which
chronicled her discoveries as a newbie genealogist. Currently Shannon is a
student in the NIGS program, American certificate, and is a graduate of the Boston
University Online Certificate in Genealogical Research. Shannon is currently a
member of APG, NGS, GSG, IFSHWE, and several lineage societies.
Giving
back to the community is important to her. Shannon is involved in the
NextGen Genealogy Network where she serves as the Education Chair. In her
local genealogical society Shannon assists in planning and organizing their
spring and fall seminars.
Shannon
joins Jen Alford (Publisher) and Terri O’Connell (Executive Director) in their
goal to create a true environment of collaboration and learning for all in the
genealogy field.
