I received my B.A. in Philosophy in 2025 from Michigan State University, specializing in Ancient Philosophy and minoring in Classical and Ancient Mediterranean Studies. In 2023, I was a summer intern at the MSU Excavations at Isthmia. My two undergraduate thesis papers focused on Plato’s use of Homer and Hesiod in his dialogues and on the reception and criticism of the Roman imperial cult in the early principate. My current research interests are Ancient Greek and Latin epic poetry, Platonic philosophy, Ancient Mediterranean religion and mythology, and Late Republican / Early Roman Imperial political thought.
