"As a UC Berkeley graduate with specialized expertise in ancient Roman and Etruscan art and culture, I bring both deep academic knowledge and innovative teaching approaches to tutoring. My undergraduate research focused on ancient Roman graffiti and art, giving me unique insights into how ancient peoples expressed themselves through visual culture. I also extensively studied Etruscan civilization, exploring its profound influence on Roman society and artistic traditions.
