Carmit Roslyn, Personal Historian

Outside of my original projects, I choose to write memoirs and travelogues for more philosophical reasons. This endeavor is connected to my belief in the importance of family life, and the enriching stories that impact it. Understanding who we are and what has shaped us is a powerful thing. Embracing these stories, I hope, will inspire people in the way they see and act upon the world.​

Personal history work is very portable. If you don't live in the region, I am typically able to come to you. I also have an established network of professional colleagues to whom I can refer you.
