My research interests include Roman historiography, Latin style, Roman political thought, and the intersection between poetics and history. My undergraduate thesis was on Sallust's conception of the early Roman state in his Bellum Catilinae, and my M.A. thesis was on narrative voice in Caesar's Bellum Gallicum. I am currently working on a project that investigates Livy's use of landscape ekphrases, and I would like to continue developing an interest in the ways
historians incorporate poetic techniques in writing their histories.
