• Education: DPhil and MPhil in Ancient History (University of Oxford)

Her research investigates how visual culture reflects socio-cultural transformations in the Roman Empire, analyzing stone portraits and funerary monuments from Syria to North Africa. Current projects examine how Roman contact influenced local body ideals, gender values, and commemorative practices. She teaches modules on Roman archaeology, art, and Byzantine history.

Recent publications explore topics such as sanctuary archaeology in Miletus, transcultural myth use, and Palmyrene funerary banquets. Her monograph-in-progress examines cultural change through Roman-era portraiture and burial practices.
