As the Visual Resources Curator, I support art faculty and students by providing image research support and specialized visual arts resources. I assist students with the scholarly use of images, including image citations, copyright and fair use analysis, digitization projects, and obtaining image permissions for theses.

I curate and manage the Art & Architecture, Artists' Books, Reed College Studio Art Theses Show, and the Douglas F. Cooley Memorial Art Gallery digital collections within the Reed Digital Collections (RDC).

I also manage the Visual Resources Center (VRC), where we offer specialized equipment such as the risograph, scanners for digitizing film, 2D, and 3D creative projects, and a guest computer equipped with Adobe Creative Cloud, Epson 2, VueScan, and Silverfast scanning software.

I offer instructional workshop sessions to enhance courses and student learning, featuring hands-on activities for skills-based learning, RDC demonstrations, virtual exhibitions, thesis support, and more. If you would like to explore new instructional topics or have questions about the services and resources available at the VRC please reach out to me.
