Before coming to Stanford, I was a selector for Widener and Lamont Libraries at Harvard University. Prior to that, I selected archival and special collections materials for the Open Collections Program, a digitization program at Harvard University Library. I also served as a Lecturer in Women, Gender, and Sexuality Studies at Harvard University.
