Welcome!

Χαίρετε and welcome! I am life-long educator guiding students toward success in their individual academic pursuits with a focus on intellectual, vocational, and personal fulfillment.

I am currently a lecturer in the joint Department of Classics and Religious Studies at the University of Nebraska–Lincoln, where I teach courses on classical mythology, Judaism, and Christianity. I am also a fellow at the Harris Center for Judaic Studies.

My research interests include authority-making in ancient and modern textual corpora, with a focus on apocalyptic literature in Ancient Judaism and Early Christianity, and religion and violence in the lives and afterlives of Jews and Christians.
