Alongside her work at the Institute, she is writing a Ph.D. dissertation on poet Guido Cavalcanti’s afterlife in 15th century Florentine philosophy (UC Berkeley, Italian Studies). Before going to grad school, she lived and studied for several years in Rome, where she also worked for Paideia’s European branch.
