About Me
Visiting Assistant Professor of Ancient Languages and the History of Science at Windermere. I work on nineteenth-century Oxford, esoteric mathematics, and how people use number, language, and ritual to make sense of the unknown. When not in the archives, I am usually walking, reading, or trying to keep my books in alphabetical order and failing.
Willing to consider private students in Latin, Ancient Greek or for analysis of classical literature in translation.

Archives remember what people meant to forget.

I like my sources the way I like my tea: primary, strong, and catastrophically oversteeped.

| This woman sits nearby a window in the Inkwell Coffee House. |
| This is a rosy-complected woman with striking amber eyes in her early |
| thirties with small C cup breasts. |
| She is 5’6″ and has pale skin with a rosy complexion, golden brown hair, |
| and amber eyes. |
| You can see her face. |
| This woman stands straight-backed and rosy-complected, moving with the |
| quiet purpose of one who walks more often than she rests. A warm brown with |
| honey undertones, her hair would fall to the small of her back if left |
| loose but is almost always drawn into a precise chignon. A few strands at |
| her temples slip free as if defying order. Deep-set and deliberate, her |
| amber–flecked irises shift between smouldering brown and burnished gold. |
| Her cheekbones rise in quiet relief, framing a straight nose and full, |
| composed lips. Her scent is subtle and clean, carrying the faintest traces |
| of old paper, dried ink, and something indefinably warm. |
| They smell like horse. |
| She is using: |
| (D) a delicate tea-cup of fragrant Earl Grey lavender fog |
| (D) a pine-green and black chevron scarf of fine merino wool |
| (E) a full-length hooded coat of fine vermillion merino wool |
| (D) a mid-calf chestnut wool dress with a high-necked bodice |
| (D) a golden neck chain with a lens sheathed in a bone frame |
| (D) a pair of walnut faux sheepskin gloves with fluffy cuffs |
| (D) a pair of thick wool stockings in a dark charcoal colour |
| (E) a pair of black leather ankle boots with brogue patterns |
