Majors in Classical Studies and Philosophy

I am a third-year undergraduate student at Duke University who co-leads the Transformative Ideas LLC, works at the Center for Christianity and Scholarship, and is part of the Mellon Mays Fellowship. I have a passion for ancient history and theology, particularly the intellectual life of the Eastern Roman Empire. I love to play Chess and strategy video games in my spare time.

Favorite Class: The City of God by St. Augustine. It was an entire class simply focused on an abridged version of a primary text which I always wanted to read. Dr. Gonzalez was an excellent instructor and facilitator for group discussions which were lively and impactful.
