Biography
I'm Elana, a second-year graduate student from Kansas City, MO. I was first introduced to Latin in middle school, and I've been in love ever since. My primary research interests include Ancient Greek/Roman magic, witchcraft, and women in antiquity. Though I thoroughly enjoy translating and analyzing the ancient languages, I have also found a deep passion for pedagogy through my experiences as a teaching assistant.
