A classics major at Assumption College, Lizzie has been the head of the Classics Department since 2008. After taking four years of Latin at her Jesuit high school in Scranton, PA, she then focused her collegiate studies on Latin authors such as Cicero, Ovid, Catullus, Virgil, and St. Augustine. She also continued her study of Greek, reading Plato, Euripides, and Homer. Her graduate work was a combination of reading Latin and Greek authors and learning successful techniques in the Latin classroom. She devoted much of her time to her master’s thesis, “An Introduction to the Underworld via Vergil’s Aeneid.”

In her professional career, Lizzie has attended many conferences, institutes, and workshops. Most notable are the Classical Association of New England Summer Institute, American Classical League Institutes, and two AP workshops at the Taft School. The week-long workshops have sparked her love of teaching Caesar and Vergil at the AP level.

At Portsmouth Abbey, Lizzie coaches cross-country and tennis; she has coached varsity girls basketball, softball, and track. She is an avid runner and has completed several marathons, three of them for charity. Lizzie has her coaching certification from The Road Runners Club of America and can train anyone to run 5K to marathons. She also enjoys photography and playing tennis. Her USTA tennis team recently qualified for Nationals in Arizona. During her sabbatical in 2018, she walked the Camino de Santiago de Compostela.
