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 (Department of Ancient Greece and Rome & Department of Ancient Egypt and Sudan) and an archival conservation project at the Natural History Museum (Department of Life Sciences). 

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 and satellite imagery. 

I am also a writer. I explore the ancient world for Haaretz (International edition published with The New York Times). My articles have been republished by Courrier International, Courrier Japon and National Geographic.

I lived in 6 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.
