Karlie got into family history because she loves hunting down the skeletons in the family closet. She is weirdly proficient at Swedish research, considering she doesn't speak Swedish. Karlie is a chronic perfectionist—but that's okay because she's an editor as well as a writer, and editors need a certain amount of perfectionism to catch commas. Originally from Colorado, Karlie also loves eating peaches, watching British historical dramas, and reading novels.
