I am a senior at the University of Cincinnati with a double major in Classical Civilizations and Archaeology. I have always had a fascination with the ancient past, mythology, and storytelling in general, and what could be better than to pursue the physical remnants of those very stories? Naturally, I have several years of Greek and Latin studies under my belt alongside numerous archaeology classes of various kinds (Maya, Greek, Roman, Egyptian, and Mesopotamian), but I have started focusing on religious ruins and how this interplays with both the political and storytelling spheres. As for what comes next, I hope to gain a couple more years of language training before moving on to graduate programs and, eventually, a professorship of my own.
