I am an archaeologist specializing in Mediterranean archaeology. I hold a master’s degree in Classical Art & Archaeology from King’s College London.

I am also a historical writer and journalist, exploring the ancient world for the English edition of Haaretz. My work is published both in print and online, and has been featured in podcasts and adapted for television in the US, UK, Norway, and Japan.

As an archaeologist, I have worked on excavation campaigns in Europe, the Middle East, and South America. I excavated in remote areas, far from civilization: deserts, caves, coastlines, and rainforests. On camera, I was the lead archaeologist for ‘In the Footsteps of the Incas’, an expedition that cut through the heart of the Andes and the Amazon. From excavating along the borders of conflict zones under rocket fire to enduring the pain of a bullet ant sting for 24 hours - I’ve seen a lot in the name of science.

During my five years as a Londoner, I contributed to two research projects at the British Museum, working on post-excavation material from the Amara West Project and on the reconstruction of the Museum’s excavation at Kamiros. At the Natural History Museum, I worked on the archival conservation of botanical specimens from Captain Cook’s second voyage and Charles Darwin’s expedition aboard HMS Beagle.
