I received my BA from the University of Michigan in Classical literature with a minor in translation studies. During the MPhil in Classics at Cambridge, my dissertation explored the materiality of wounding and the resonant relationship between bodily violence and the environment in Homeric epic.After Cambridge, I received an MA in Classics from UCLA along with a graduate certificate in writing pedagogy. Most recently, I worked as a content specialist in the Office of Distance Learning at Northwestern University's School of Professional Studies, assessing online courses for digital accessibility, fair use & copyright, and writing. I am also a creative writer of poetry and speculative fiction, with work published in numerous venues. As of Fall 2024, I am a doctoral student in the Joint Program in English and Education at the University of Michigan, where I study rhetoric and composition, especially as related to labor and empire in the modern university.
