meet the team

“I have always been fascinated by history and carried that interest into my studies at the University of Sydney. I started my archaeological consulting experience on the Cumberland Plain and at the Quadrant site at Broadway, and since then have been interested in a range of aspects relating to heritage management in NSW. I particularly enjoy working in the field and try to go on site as often as I can.”
