Since coming to Truman in 2015, I have taught classes in Latin language and culture, I have served as the advisor to Eta Sigma Phi, the undergraduate Classics Honors Society, and I have overseen student research initiatives. Additionally, I am an organizer of the meetings of the Missouri Classical Association. My research interests include Augustan Age literature, Roman satire, reception and film studies, and Classical pedagogy. I am currently revising my dissertation, a study on Horace's Satires and its employment of imagery of the physical body and sensory aesthetics, within a satiric medium.
