Brief Biographical Sketch:

I am a senior at MIT majoring in 21E: Humanities and Engineering (history and computer science), and minoring in 14: Economics. I am interested in history, reading, public and international affairs, computer programming, Quiz Bowl and Jeopardy, Latin, Harry Potter and Harry Potter fanfiction, and music.
I have taught Latin at Splash! since my sophomore year of college. I will be teaching Beginner Latin I and Beginner Latin II this year. In high school, I took Latin I and Latin III (after sort of skipping Latin II) and got a silver medal and magna cum laude on the National Latin Exam Level III. I am currently taking a Latin class at MIT.
