Associate Dean for Student Achievement and Persistence
Assistant Professor of Classics

I teach a variety of Latin and Greek courses, from the introductory sequence to advanced levels. Recent selections for these courses include works by Cicero, the New Testament and Ovid. Additionally, I occasionally teach courses in translation. In my role as Associate Dean for Student Achievement and Persistence, I oversee the college’s CARE Team and other initiatives that aim to help remove barriers to graduation for all students. Outside of Millsaps, I currently serve on the Senate of the Phi Beta Kappa Society.
