Since joining Christ Church in September as the new Graduate Development Associate, I have already had the chance to enjoy a CCA Open House and a magnificent Gaudy. It is fair to say that the charm of the House has proved infectious, even if I still attract scorn for my shameless loyalty to a certain institution in the Fens that must not be named.

I graduated last summer having read languages and linguistics, and have spent much of the last year teaching myself Sanskrit and working in museums in Oxford. When I’m not working at a glorious formal dinner in Hall or in our no less salubrious office in Peck, I can be found prattling endlessly about comparative linguistics, classical Indian religion, or Canada.
