Prior to Princeton, I received my BA from Columbia University (summa cum laude), where I studied Classics, Gender Studies, and Psychology. My senior thesis, “Reproductive Control: The Effect of Women’s Mental Health within Soranus’ Gynaecology,” explored female patients’ emotional and psychological expressions as elements of, and responses within, the reproductive process to complicate understandings of female self-control in Greek gynecology. After Columbia, I completed an MPhil in Classics at the University of Cambridge (Newnham College).

My research more broadly is interested in the interaction among affect, gender, and the body, reading within and beyond ancient literature. Specifically, I focus on iatrogenic emotion, patient (dis)embodiment and personhood, interpersonal hierarchies, and systems of power in ancient Greek medicine. I am concerned with centering and reembodying traditionally athetized female bodies and individuals fragmented in the archive.

I would be happy to connect with students who are considering applying to Princeton or those who would like to discuss research or reflections on the discipline more generally.
