CeCe is an expert genetic genealogist and the founder of The DNA Detectives. She has made many television appearances discussing high profile cases she has solved, including the adoption of LL Cool J's mother and uncovering the true identity of amnesiac Benjaman Kyle and foundling Paul Fronczak. She and her work have been featured extensively on ABC's 20/20, most recently in May 2016. CeCe is the DNA expert for the PBS series "Finding Your Roots with Henry Louis Gates, Jr" for which she analyzes the DNA results of celebrities who appear on the show and writes the corresponding portions of the episode script.
CeCe is a leading genetic genealogy educator, speaking and teaching extensively across North America. She writes the popular blog "Your Genetic Genealogist" that aims to make this fascinating subject understandable and interesting to the general public. She has been quoted in major print media extensively discussing her area of expertise.
As founder of The DNA Detectives and owner of the largest DNA-related group on the Internet, CeCe is passionate about assisting those of unknown parentage who have little to no knowledge of their ancestral roots in learning about their genetic heritage and locating biological family members. She has been on the front lines of the game-changing events surrounding the growth of the direct-to-consumer genetic testing industry.
After studying music, theatre and film at USC, CeCe worked as a professional actress and singer for two decades with entertainment luminaries such as Francis Ford Coppola, Michael Jackson, David Lynch and conductor Bill Conti.
CeCe is a member of Mensa and the proud mother of a fifth grade boy.
