As an English and Creative Writing major, I focused on Medieval literature and writing fiction. I specifically concentrated on Old English and Old Norse literature. I completed my English Critical Honors Thesis on Beowulf and Hrólfs Saga Kraka, as a culmination of my major.

Work with Old English and Old Norse literature:

May 2024: I completed my senior honors thesis, “Haunted Halls and Misnamed Monsters: Displacement and Erasure in Hrólfs Saga Kraka and Beowulf“.

April 2024: I participated in a translation conference and workshop at Dartmouth College titled, “The Bridge: Translation From, For and To.” I read my translation of the Old English poem, The Wanderer, during the conference.

August 2023: I began translating Hrólfs Saga Kraka from Old Norse to English with the help of Professor Nirvana Tanoukhi and Icelandic Online classes through the University of Iceland.

August 2022: I began translating Beowulf from Old English to English with Professor Monika Otter. I took her course ENGL 10, “Old English and the Scandinavian Epic Saga,” and continued translating through March 2023.
