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 history writer and journalist. I explore the ancient world for Haaretz (English Edition). My articles have been featured in podcasts and turned into TV programs in the US, UK, Norway, and Japan. They are also regularly translated into Japanese and featured in Courrier Japon (クーリエ・ジャポン).

As an archaeologist, I have worked on excavation campaigns across 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 in an expedition spanning the Andes and the Amazon rainforest (exploration documentary film, “In the footsteps of the Incas”). Excavating at the border between enemy states and witnessing rocket attacks is not unknown to me either, nor is being stung by a bullet ant … all in the name of science.

During my five years in London, 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. I also collaborated with the Natural History Museum, contributing to the archival conservation of botanical specimens collected during Captain Cook’s second voyage and Charles Darwin’s expedition aboard HMS Beagle.

After witnessing the illegal excavation and looting of archaeological sites, I decided to take action. Together with a team of archaeologists and volunteers, we have documented dozens of illicit digs to date. Our work also focuses on identifying archaeological sites in remote and hostile regions using lidar, satellite imagery, and drones.

I’ve lived in six countries and on countless planes —not always to uncover or contemplate archaeological gems. I’ve worked with leading beauty brands as a model.
