EDUCATION
August 2015Â - May 2019
DICKINSON COLLEGE BACHELOR OF ARTSÂ
CLASSICAL STUDIES, ENVIRONMENTAL STUDIES
Located in Carlisle, PA, I studied both Classical and Environmental Studies. My majors form an unlikely pair but allowed me to create a framework to understand human society: the needs, the wants, the motivations, the behaviors, and the ways humans interact. Classical Studies teaches the ideological roots of Western Civilization and tackles deep political and ethical questions that society has asked for over 2,000 years. On the other hand, Environmental Studies teaches a pragmatic approach: how humans historically interacted with the environment, what has worked, and what has not.

Additionally, I self-developed a paper on Virgil's depiction of Aeneas's treatment of the environment and notions of miasma, i.e. pollution or moral stain, including religious pollution, which combined my two disciplines of classical studies and environmental studies.
