Williams

My interest in archaeology sparked from ancient history, developed into maritime and Indigenous Australian archaeology, took me across Australia and overseas to study/volunteer on terrestrial and maritime archaeological sites/programs, and eventually towards settling down in a steady job to raise a family. I feel compelled to do what I can to learn, record, and preserve cultural heritage, to a capacity that helps First Nations People attain agency and ownership of their country. My company, GBA Consulting Engineers, aims to “engineer the outback” and provide compliant, fit-for-purpose professional services to regional Australia, which I endeavour to incorporate into our CH/NT/ENV compliance processes/services.
