I am a Classicist whose research challenges traditional narratives of literary history at the interface of Greek and Latin literature and scholarship. I work widely across archaic and classical Greek literature, Hellenistic poetry, and Latin literature, focusing especially on questions of politics, aesthetics and intertextuality.
I am currently a Career Development Fellow in Ancient Greek at St Hilda's College, Oxford. Before that, I was a British Academy Postdoctoral Research Fellow in the Oxford Classics Faculty (2022-2024), a Junior Research Fellow at Wolfson College, Oxford (2022-2024), a Stipendiary Lecturer in Classics at Wadham College, Oxford (2021-2022), an Affiliated Lecturer in the Faculty of Classics at Cambridge (2020-2021), and a Research Fellow in Classics at Corpus Christi College, Cambridge (2018-2021). In addition to my research and teaching, I am co-editor of the CUCD Bulletin and on the editorial advisory board of Hellenistica Groningana. On this site you can find more information about my research and browse my publications, presentations, teaching material and outreach work. |
Beyond academia, I am also passionate about dance and music. As a Ballroom and Latin dancer, I have represented England and Cambridge internationally in Austria, Germany, Hungary, Poland and China, and as a member of XS Latin Cambridge, I have been a UK Champion, British Champion, WDC European Champion and WDSF World Championship Semi-finalist in Latin Formation Dancing (2017, 2019). While completing my PhD, I represented the University of Cambridge in Dancesport and had the honour of captaining the team to an undefeated year at home and abroad in 2016-2017. I am also an enthusiastic social Cuban Salsa and Rueda dancer. In the past, I have played the French Horn in a number of orchestras and have performed in venues ranging from the Royal Albert Hall (London) and Sheldonian Theatre (Oxford) to St. Mark's Cathedral (Venice).
