Biography :
I am a PhD student in the Ancient History stream. In 2025, I received an Honours BA in Classics and Classical Civilization from the University of Toronto. My area of research focuses primarily on the social and economic history of the Roman Principate, particularly regarding slavery, freedmen, and class structures. I am currently working on an epigraphic survey of epitaphs in Roman colonies in Macedonia, which aims to further understand the assimilatory forces that Roman freed slaves faced.
Areas of Interest: Roman social history, slavery, epigraphy, demography, social mobility, historiography.
