Kathryn began studying Latin her freshman year of high school in Marietta, GA and has yet to stop. She continued her studies in Latin and Greek at Georgetown University where she received degrees in both Classics and English Literature. As an undergraduate, she also spent a year at the University of Edinburgh where she continued her work on Latin and British Literature. After Georgetown, Kathryn attended the Post-Baccalaureate program in Greek and Latin at the University of Pennsylvania, and then came to Stanford for graduate work in Classical Studies. She completed her M.A. in 2007 and is currently working on her Doctoral dissertation in Latin Literature and Roman law.

Kathryn has taught Latin in a variety of places to a variety of age groups, including high school students during the Summer Session at Philips Academy Andover, middle school students at JHU CTY, and even a father-and-son team here in Palo Alto. She has also taught an Advanced Latin course and an Intermediate Greek course to Stanford undergraduates. In addition to language instruction, she has been a teaching assistant for Classics courses at Stanford, for which she received the Centennial Teaching Award. This past summer she had the pleasure of working with EPGY’s Summer Institutes, teaching an Introductory Classical Literature course.
