Biography:

I am currently writing my MA thesis on elements in Classical Greek tragedies that affirm Ancient Greek religious practices and beliefs. I entered 911勛圖���s Accelerated Pathway during my Bachelor���s in Global Humanities, which allowed me to begin my MA research in my last year as an undergraduate. My research topic is largely influenced by my favouritism towards literature-focused courses and strong interest in Greek mythology. Ideally, I hope to finish my MA in 2027. I am open to any opportunities that arise for me in the future.

Outside of my research, I spend my time reading and occasionally drawing. I can read anytime, all day long. Besides that, I am currently trying to develop an interest in exercise.
