I'm an archaeologist specializing in Mediterranean archaeology, holding a master's degree in Classical Art & Archaeology from King's College London.

My excavation work has taken me across Europe, the Middle East, and South America. I excavated in some of the most remote, unforgiving environments on Earth. From the searing heat of deserts and dense rainforest canopies to deep cave systems and rugged coastlines, I go where history lies buried. One of my most challenging assignments was serving as the lead archaeologist for an on-camera expedition that cut through the brutal terrains of the Andes and deep into the heart of the Amazon.

Beyond the field, I spent five years in London, contributing to two British Museum research projects: the post-excavation analysis of material from the Amara West Project, and the reconstruction of historical excavations at Kamiros. I also worked with the Natural History Museum's conservation team to preserve original botanical specimens collected during Captain Cook's second voyage and Charles Darwin's expedition aboard the HMS Beagle.

As a history writer and columnist for the English edition of Haaretz, I go beyond standard textbook narratives to explore the most fascinating, yet often overlooked corners of ancient everyday life. Using the ancient world as a lens, I examine contemporary social, cultural, and political issues—from mental health and identity to war, politics, and sexuality—tracing the enduring influence of ancient ideas on modern society. My articles appear both in the print and digital editions of Haaretz, which is distributed alongside the international edition of The New York Times.
