I held a faculty appointment in the Department of Classics for over eight years between 2014 and 2022. During that time, I taught courses in Ancient Greek and Latin, Greek Literature and History, Ancient Athletics, Classical Receptions, and Mediterranean Archaeology. In the Fall of 2022, I left the University to pursue opportunities in the business world, and to prove to myself something that I had been promising my students and advisees for years: that a degree in Classics may lead to many different kinds of careers and many different forms of success.
