About us
Learning and understanding it, however, is a lot more technical than that. So we’ve gathered together to form My Ancestral File, the website where you can read interesting but educational articles about ancestry, genealogy, and genetics. Learn about the science and technology available to pull apart and examine our DNA. Understand how DNA affects our lives even in non-scientific ways that may be affecting you and how you live right now.
We want people to understand who they are, and part of knowing that is understanding what makes up their DNA and why it matters.
Whitney Clare
Whitney has been a high school science teacher since 2004. She enjoyed learning from her teachers at a young age and decided that she her calling was to train young minds.
Earning her degree in Biology and teaching license in 2003, she taught general science to seventh graders for two years before being assigned to eleventh grade biology students. By day, she’s a teacher; at night and on weekends she’s either a grad student studying Biology or a tennis player on the court.
Lincoln Bremmer
Unlike his classmates, Lincoln enjoyed studying biology, and if he wasn’t on his way to become a geneticist, he’d probably be a neurologist or a veterinarian. While he’s still a long way from earning his M.D., Lincoln excels in his university as a Biology major.
Lincoln writes about the latest news and developments in the genetics industry. Whether it’s a successful cloning feat or new life-saving tech, Lincoln knows how to report it interestingly and give a hot take on any development.
Nita Santamaria
Nita is a science fiction writer. She picked up her love for sci-fi from her dad, a literature professor, and grew up reading from authors such as Asimov and Orson Scott Card.
Her motto is “life is stranger than fiction” because she loves innovation and, what seemed like magic a hundred years ago are now the things we take for granted. She is a biology major working part-time as a librarian assistant and freelance writer, and hopes to be a biology professor one day. When she’s not writing articles, she’s working on her sci-fi novel.
