I am the Associate Curator of Manuscripts, and I also respond to reference inquiries about the Manuscripts Division.

Background
I received my Ph.D. in African American Studies and History from Yale University in 2013. Since that time, I have worked in various roles at the Clements Library.

Responsibilities
As Associate Curator of Manuscripts, I process manuscript collections, contribute to instruction, and help connect researchers with the rich handwritten sources here at the library. I am committed to decreasing barriers to access, and I invite queries about how I can help do so. My research interests include material culture, women and children’s histories, and the quirky stories that highlight the very human side of early American history.
