Biography
I studied Greek and Roman Classics, earning a BA in Classics and Philosophy and an MA in Classics. I am passionate about the Classics and I have traveled extensively as part of my research. I have worked on projects which include topics on life in Roman Britain, Roman Death and Grieving and the Lives of Roman Women in Ancient Rome. I also have a background in Child and Adolescent Studies which has inspired a particular current project on the Lives of Young People in Ancient Rome.
