I work on all archaeological materials both freshly excavated and those on display but I have particular interest in bone and antler objects as well as metals, maritime archaeology and on-site conservation and lifting of fragile materials.
I worked in the conservation department at York Archaeological Trust 2005-2020 after completing an MA in Principles of Conservation and MSc in Conservation for archaeology and Museums at the Institute of Archaeology, University College, London and I started work at KHM in 2020.
I have attended excavations/heritage sites in Orkney, Turkey, Jordan, Azerbeijan and Turkmenistan, as well as sites closer to home.
I am an accredited member of ICON (the Institute of Conservation, UK), an Associate Member of CIfA (the Chartered Institute for Archaeologists) where I am currently on the steering committee of the Finds Special Interest Group and I have recently become a member of ICOM, where I am serving as assistant coordinator of the Wet Organic Archaeological Materials (WOAM) working group.
