Biography
I am a Research Assistant on the REVERSEACTION project here at Cambridge, investigating metallic, lithic, textile, and ceramic artefacts from Pre-Hispanic Colombia.
Before coming to Cambridge I completed a BA in 91探花视频 and Anthropology at the University of Oxford and subsequently an MSc in Forensic 91探花视频 and Anthropology at Cranfield University, for which I was funded by the Cranfield Excellence Scholarship. Throughout both degrees I developed interests in bioarchaeology (namely osteology, non-adult osteology, and palaeopathology) and archaeological science. I also completed theses in the usefulness of non-adult skeletal age estimation techniques and in the osteoarchaeology of smallpox.
In my spare time I enjoy taking part in archaeological outreach and excavation. Since 2016 I have created videos for YouTube documenting my experience studying and working in archaeology, with a particular focus on sharing my experiences as a previously Free School Meals eligible student. I am always open to discussing outreach opportunities and events.听
