Education
Kathryn received a Bachelor of Arts in Classical Studies from the College of Charleston. During her time at the College of Charleston, she focused on Ancient Roman history, the Latin language, and the reflection of society within ancient texts. Kathryn’s passion for psychological development influenced her work while at school by examining transgenerational trauma, mortality salience, and humor within classical epic poetry. Alongside her literary studies, Kathryn worked to analyze, categorize, and digitize artifacts in an archeological survey of Roman-era glass from Carthage. After she completed her studies, Kathryn worked on historical Charleston archeological digs, where she strengthened her attention to detail and learned she’d prefer to spend her days holding a pen instead of a trowel.
