My book explores the spiritual uses of calligraphy and manuscript illumination among German mystics and Pietists in early Pennsylvania.

My professional skills center on collections management, exhibition design, public programming, and research services in special collections libraries and museums. 

My passion is using rare books, manuscripts, artworks, and other artifacts to foster transformative learning experiences.
