About Me

I earned a Bachelor’s Degree in the Liberal Arts from Hiram College with a major in Philosophy, Master’s Degrees from Kent State University in Philosophy and Latin Literature, studied Ancient Greek as a living language for a semester at Polis – The Jerusalem Institute of Humanities and Languages in Israel, and Latin as a living language in Rome and Paris with the Paideia Institute, and at many Rusticationes and Bidua with SALVI (The North American Institute of Living Latin Studies) in the United States.

Teaching Experience

In addition to private tutoring that I’ve done since 2013, I’ve worked as an Adjunct Instructor with Kent State University in both the Philosophy and Modern and Classical Language Departments, as an instructor for the Paideia Institute’s Telepaideia program, taught a semester as graduate instructor of Latin at the Polis – The Jerusalem Institute of Humanities and Languages, and was a K-6 Latin teacher in Cincinnati Public Schools for two years. More recently, I’ve also started working at the Minneapolis/St. Paul Italian Cultural Heritage Center teaching Youth courses in Italian, participated as an Adult Villager, Camp Counselor and Two Week Educational coordinator at CLV’s (Concordia Language Villages) Italian Program, Lago del Bosco, for the past several summers, and been an instructor at the University of Dallas/Polis Institute Greek and Latin immersion summer courses.

Editing and Publication Experience

Alongside my teaching and tutoring activities, I was the chief editorial consultant for William E. Linney’s Keep Going with Latin: A Continuation of Getting Started with Latin: Beginning Latin For Homeschoolers and Self-Taught Students of Any Age (here) as well as an editor for his Getting Started with German: Beginning German for Homeschoolers and Self-Taught Students of Any Age, (2020) and an editor and content contributor for Entomobia, A Dungeon and Dragons 5e Roleplaying Setting (here).
