Biography

Background

Working thesis title: A city of marble, a city of song: Ovid’s Architectural and textual structures

I have been extremely fortunate to study both my undergraduate and postgraduate degrees at Edinburgh University. I started Latin and Greek as a beginner during my undergraduate degree and quickly developed a passion for ancient poetry, particularly Augustan literature. My research masters was a study of Ovid's Trojan War narrative (Met. 12.1-13.622) (funded by the Edinburgh UK/EU masters scholarship). I am now in the third year of my PhD (funded by the Edinburgh HCA doctoral scholarship) on architecture in the Ovidian corpus.
