Worked under Associate Professor of Classics Bartolo Natoli on the editing of an upcoming textbook, Ancient Women Writers of Greece and Rome, created in collaboration with Judith P. Hallett and Angela Pitts. Translated much of Ancient Roman poet Sulpicia's work and met with Professor Natoli to suggest notes, translation help, and vocabulary words which would be useful to undergraduate students using the text in a classroom environment. Cross-checked in-text vocabulary to ensure accurate translations, notes, and interpretation. Translated and wrote text notes for multiple of Sulpicia the Younger's poems which appear in the text.
