About
Hi! I’m Liv, and I graduated with an ATAR of 99.75 and a perfect score of 50 in VCE English. I’m currently studying a Bachelor of Classics at Sapienza University of Rome, a degree which encompasses my interests in literature, languages, and history. An avid debater, I competed on the state and national debating teams for two years. In my ongoing study of literature (in English, Italian, Latin & Ancient Greek) I’m further learning how to unpack language and reveal textual meaning; I hope to share my skills, and my love for books, plays, and poetry with you all!
