I am Director of Classical Language Instruction for CNES, which means I teach beginning and intermediate Latin and Greekp;as well as coordinate other sections of those courses and supervise the graduate instructors. I also work with Latin and Greek teachers (and others) around Minnesota and Wisconsin through College in the Schools to promote the study of Latin and Greek.

My scholarly interests lie mostly in Augustan Latin authors, including Vergil (the subject of my dissertation and ongoing research), Livy, and Tibullus. I am also interested in Latin and Greek pedagogy.
