I received my B.A in Philosophy and Classics & Religion, with a minor in Education, from Florida State University (FSU) in 2018. In 2021 I received M.As in Religions of Western Antiquity and Classical Civilizations from FSU, as well. My research focuses on gender, sexuality, and ancient religion. More specifically, I am interested in divination, demons, and magic in the ancient Mediterranean world and how gender identity plays a dynamic role in these beliefs and practices. I am also the president of Classics Coffee Hour, a student organization that aims to help students across the Humanities and beyond with their research projects and professionalization by offering opportunities for practice talks, informative lectures, and workshops.
