Ms Hatton joined Sotheby’s in 2016 as Vice President and Senior Specialist in the Books & Manuscripts department.

She is a member of the Grolier Club, the Bibliographical Society of America, the History of Science Society, the Caxton Club, and the Rare Book & Manuscript Section of the American Library Association. Ms. Hatton did her undergraduate work in History and French & Linguistics at UCLA, and has an MA in Early Modern European History with a focus on the History of Science.
