Dede’s vast knowledge of copyright laws are still helping me in my career, almost 10 years since I worked for her.

You won't find anyone more knowledgeable about image and rights management than Dede. The lessons I learned from her about ethics and image selection are ones that continue to stick with me. I often find myself repeating things she's drilled into my head over the years, and I'm glad I have that knowledge base to share with others.
