I am an archaeologist with a specialization in Classical Archaeology- I hold a master’s degree in Classical Art & Archaeology from King’s College London.

I worked on archaeological campaigns in Europe, the Middle East, and South America. I excavated away from civilizations in places that make you forget the rest of the world: 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 or waking up next to an anaconda… all in the name of science.

During my five-year period as a Londoner, I contributed to two research projects at the British Museum. I worked on the post-excavation finds from the Amara West Project and the reconstruction of the British Museum’s excavation at Kamiros (1863–64). At the Natural History Museum, I have contributed to the archival conservation work of botanical specimens from Captain Cook’s second voyage and Charles Darwin’s voyage of HMS Beagle.

After witnessing illegal excavations and looting of archaeological sites I decided to take action. With a group of archaeologists and volunteers we have documented so far dozens of illicit excavations using drones. Our work is also focused on identifying archaeological sites in remote and hostile areas using Lidar, satellite imagery, and artificial intelligence. 

I am also a writer. I explore the ancient world for Haaretz (International edition). My articles have been selected by Courrier International, Courrier Japon, and National Geographic.

I lived in six countries and countless planes, though not always to uncover hidden gems- I worked with leading beauty brands as a model and was the face of Clarins.
