Academic Background

After reading for my undergraduate degree at the University of Sydney, I came to Oxford as a Clarendon Scholar for my MSt and doctorate in Classical Languages and Literature at Corpus Christi College. For a number of years I taught Classics in secondary schools, and am the author of several commentaries published for the A Level syllabus in both Greek and Latin. I am currently completing theology studies in training for the priesthood in the Scottish Episcopal Church.
