As Curator of Modern Literature & Manuscripts in the Rare Books & Manuscripts Library, I serve as resource for those seeking teaching and research support with modern literature and related historical collections, actively build and manage these collections, and collaborate with instructors to provide learning opportunities for students. I also promote awareness and use through programming and outreach, including curating exhibits and organizing events.
