I am the head of conservation for the library’s rare and special collections. My main responsibility is overseeing the physical care of the books, prints, drawings, maps, manuscripts, and photographs in the Library's rare and special collections. This includes both preventive care activities (ensuring items are properly stored, handled, and prepared for exhibition) and treatment. I manage the flow of work in and out of the lab, assign work to my team, and carry out treatments and preventive care work. 

I have an M.A. and certificate of advanced study in paper conservation from Buffalo State College, and a degree in bookbinding from the North Bennet Street School.  My B.A. is from Kenyon College where I majored in studio art and minored in art history.
