Olivier Goossens
Summary
Ever since I can remember, I have been fascinated by ancient culture and history. I have had the privilege of completing two master's programs at KU Leuven, which have deepened my understanding of Greco-Roman history, culture, and languages. Throughout my university years, I developed a keen interest in identity, ideology, perception, and Hellenistic culture.
Alongside my academic pursuits, I have nurtured a deep love for naval history, which I have expressed by creating my own online magazine and social media network, Heart of Oak.
My dream is to become a researcher and writer in classical studies while continuing to grow my magazine on British naval history after work hours.
