Welcome to Harvard, First-Years! My name is Andrew. I grew up in Durban, South Africa and moved to Dayton, Ohio during high school. In May 2022, I graduated from Harvard Divinity School with my master’s and, now, I am a doctoral student in Harvard’s Department of Near Eastern Languages and Civilizations (NELC), studying the Hebrew Bible and Semitic languages. My research centers on the composition, writing conventions, and scribal epistemologies behind ritual text production in the ancient Near East. Apart from my studies, I love learning, reading, eating, hiking, roadtripping, playing music, playing pick-up sports, and hosting people with my wife, Tori. We are so excited that you are here!
