Born in Limerick, Ireland, I studied for my BA in Classical Civilisation and Latin at Trinity College Dublin. During my undergraduate degree I undertook a year study abroad at the University of Massachusetts Amherst. I continued in Trinity for the MPhil in Classics programme (graduated 2021) and currently, I'm studying for my PhD at the University of Cambridge, United Kingdom.

My PhD project addresses the question, how were political borders conceptualised, developed and operated during the Hellenistic Period. With this in mind I look at a wide geographical and chronological scope. Analysis is undertaken across Seleucid, Ptolemaic, Antigonid and Attalid contexts utilising a variety of literary and archaeological material.

My main research interests are Hellenistic and Roman history, archaeology, culture contact, ancient empire and ancient geography.
