I am a Research Assistant on the Mapping Africa’s Endangered Archaeological Sites and Monuments (MAEASaM) project, primarily working on locating and documenting archaeological sites in Sudan.

My interest in the archaeological heritage of Africa began while studying it within my BA at Oxford, in Archaeology and Anthropology. After graduating, I developed a further enthusiasm for geospatial archaeology, and so applied for an MSc in Digital Archaeology at York. Indeed, during this degree I mostly specialised in GIS, particularly within my dissertation, which applied a variety of spatial analyses within and between buildings at Songo Mnara, in Tanzania. Following this, I participated in a graduate attachment scheme at the BIEA (British Institute in Eastern Africa), acting as a remote research assistant on archaeological projects in East Africa, before taking up this position with MAEASaM.
