At Wellesley College, I work with colleagues from various departments to integrate the study of the art and history of the book into the liberal arts curriculum. I teach the history of 19th and 20th century typography and printing at the Rare Book School at the University of Virginia and the history of the book at Simmons University. My research interests include the history of printing, bibliography, and libraries as well as women in book history. I have presented at the 2019 and 2021 SHARP conferences. I was a Vice President of the American Printing History Association (2016-2020) and currently serve on the advisory boards for the Bookbinding Program at the North Bennet St. School. As a member of the Board of Directors, I would contribute to efforts to build community and to bring people from various backgrounds and disciplines together to advance the mission of SHARP.
