Biography:

I am currently writing my MA thesis on elements in Classical Greek tragedies that affirm Ancient Greek religious practices and beliefs. I entered SFU’s Accelerated Pathway during my Bachelor’s in Global Humanities, which allowed me to begin my MA research in my last year as an undergraduate. My research topic is largely influenced by my favouritism towards literature-focused courses and strong interest in Greek mythology. Ideally, I hope to finish my MA in 2027. I am open to any opportunities that arise for me in the future.

Outside of my research, I spend my time reading and occasionally drawing. I can read anytime, all day long. Besides that, I am currently trying to develop an interest in exercise.
