Sandra Brown,  Office Manager
Sandra earned her B.A. in 2006 from Mills College, in Oakland California, where she studied English Literature and Book Arts. While at Mills, she worked as an assistant at the Heller Rare Book Room & Mills Center for the Book. When Sandra relocated to Rosendale over a year ago for WSW’s admin internship position, she had no idea she would become so smitten with the Binnewater.
