Summary
As the first Temple Department employee of the Fort Lauderdale Florida Temple, I played a pivotal role in establishing and managing temple office operations. For my first four years, I was the sole temple office employee due to the absence of a local recorder. My responsibilities expanded significantly during the pandemic, as I managed ordinance worker scheduling from Phase 1 through Phase 3 reopening. I am highly proficient in TIS software, Family Search, and Ancestry.com. Prior to my current role, I had an extensive career in scientific research, specializing in medical and genetic studies.
