Role Overview

- Image Sourcing & Copyright Literacy: Able to source and verify copyright-free or explicitly licensed imagery from Wikimedia Commons, Smithsonian Open Access, Creative Commons, public-domain collections, or original photography — with full license and provenance documentation.
- Basic Image Editing: Able to crop, mask, or obscure source images while preserving realistic secondary visual clues.
- Attention to Detail: Capable of writing concise, objective rubric criteria and appropriately scoped prompts without revealing the target subject's identity.
- Tool Proficiency: Comfortable with Google Drive, structured file-naming conventions, and organized deliverable submissions.
