In 2017, she graduated from the University of Kansas with a M.A. in Classical Art and Archaeology. Her MA thesis examined how depictions of Polyphemus and Galatea in wall-painting were entwined with Roman values and aspirations, such as conveying one’s status through their literacy.

Caroline’s research interests include domestic art, the construction of identities in the ancient world, domestic cult practices, and museum studies.
