Brief Biographical Sketch:

My first exposure to the Latin language came in 7th grade, and it quickly captivated me. Throughout high school, I practiced my language skills by reading a variety of ancient texts, and along the way grew increasingly fascinated by the rich and multi-faceted society these writers inhabited. I love talking about the Greeks and Romans and always strive to fight back against generalization and misrepresentation, which are all too common when this empire is cited by commentators on all sides of the political spectrum. In my class, I hope to reveal the diversity of thought that existed in the ancient world, without sugarcoating the Roman Empire's many flaws.
