Karen Ellis

As a dedicated and resourceful mother of seven, I have developed exceptional organizational and multitasking abilities, alongside a deep sense of commitment to both family and community. Over the past three years, I have volunteered with Hamilton Animal Services, providing foster care for animals in need, showcasing my compassion and reliability. In the genealogical field, I have completed over 20 courses with marks of distinction through the registered trades school, International Institute of Genealogical Studies. I will complete my Irish/Scottish Family History Certificate in December 2025 thereby becoming an Accredited Professional Genealogist. My experience includes creating extensive family trees and assisting adoptees in identifying birth family, demonstrating my attention to detail/accuracy and strong problem-solving skills. I am fluent in both French and English, with proficiency in speaking, reading, and writing, which allows me to communicate effectively with a wide range of clients and colleagues. My ability to adapt to diverse environments and continuously learn new skills has been a key asset in both my professional and work life.
