Staff profile

I completed my BA/LLB conjoint degree at the University of Auckland (New Zealand) in 2018, and Bachelor of Arts (Honours) in 2019, majoring in Latin. I then completed a Master of Arts degree at Auckland University in 2020 with a thesis, supervised by Associate Professor Marcus Wilson, titled A Commentary on Ovid's Fasti Book 3, Lines 459-808: Aetiologies and Apotheoses with Ariadne, Anna Perenna and Liber.

In October 2022 I began my PhD in Classics at Durham, supervised by Professor Jennifer Ingleheart.

Doctoral Research Project

In my research I study the embodiment of deities in the Elegies of Tibullus. I draw on Roman poetic aesthetics, visual culture, and ritual practices to examine Tibullus' portayal of the bodies and materiality of Roman deities. I relate this embodiment to the elegiac role of the divine and the relationships that the Tibullan narrator and his love interests have with the gods.
