Content Coordinator – Becks Kobel

Becks is better known as ‘The Hipster Historian’ and she is obsessed with history, 
the dead and telling the stories of those deceased by documenting their lives through various digital mediums. Her goal is to bring genealogy and intersectional history to the masses and younger generations by keeping the love of genealogy going throughout all generations — which includes my focus on feminist-oriented research and progressive values.
