I am a(n aspiring) writer and classicist, born in Switzerland and raised in London. My interests, and objects of writing, include film, (socio/historical) linguistics, (playful) scholarly discourse, London culture, the history (and future) of Classics as a discipline, and Iranian intellectual history.

Currently a doctoral student in Greek and Latin literature at the University of Basel, I studied Classics at Merton College, Oxford (BA), where I was a two-time Ashmolean Krasis Scholar, and at Trinity College, Cambridge (MPhil), where I was the Eric Evan Spicer Scholar, and my thesis on ‘obscurity’ (asapheia) in Greek literary criticism was awarded the Faculty Members’ Classical Essay Prize (2025) for best dissertation . My PhD, as part of a larger SNSF-funded project on ancient ‘quotation culture’ (CITE), focusses on forms, methods, and uses of poetic quotation and exegesis in the ancient rhetorical tradition.

My articles and poetry have been published in a range of journals and magazines, including minor literature[s], Wilderness House Literary Review and Babel Magazine, among others. I have also been commissioned to write public-facing scholarly articles for The Ashmolean’s Krasis and NYU’s Goethe Project. During various moments of productivity, I was Editor-in-Chief of The Isis Magazine (2022), The Camera Publication (2025), and The Alexandria (2023), as well as Associate Editor of The Oxford Review of Books (2023).
