I am a PhD student pursuing studies in Classical Philology at Harvard University. Hailing from a farming family in the North East Kingdom of Vermont, I was fortunate to have parents who cultivated a rich appreciation for literature and language in equal measure, along with horticulture and sustainable land management.

Following my deep fascination with the works of ancient Greek and Roman authors, I pursued a Bachelor's degree in Classics from Yale, immersing myself in the texts of Homer, Plato, Cicero, and Lucretius.

Currently enrolled at a Harvard, I have dedicated the last six years to the rigorous and comprehensive study of ancient languages, literature, and culture. My research focuses on the nuances of linguistic structures, examining the origins and evolutions of ancient Mediterranean languages, and analyzing the stylistic influence of Near Eastern texts, particularly ancient Sumerian and Akkadian, on proto-classic forebearers. In addition to fluency in several Near Eastern languages, my command of Old English, ancient Greek and Latin gallows me to engage with texts in their original languages.

Beyond my academic pursuits, I am deeply engaged in the Classics community, actively participating in study groups, scholarly organizations, and intellectual forums. My ultimate aspiration is to become a professor, sharing my passion for Classical Philology with future generations.
