I graduated as an archaeologist (BA Hons) in 2000 from Sydney University. After a three year stint in Oxford UK, I returned to Sydney and have worked in Aboriginal cultural heritage management ever since. Previous roles have included research at Sydney University, Principal Archaeologist at Total Earth Care, a sole trader through Oliver Brown Consulting Archaeology (OBCA), Senior Archaeologist at AHMS (now Extent), working across a wide range of projects and scales.
During this time, I held several positions in the Australian Association of Consulting Archaeologists, including NSW Chairperson, have been active in the Australian Archaeological Association and published multiple peer-reviewed publications.
In 2015, I founded Associates Archaeology & Heritage, initially involving collaborative projects with other heritage consultants and ecologists. Increasingly, I have come to specialise in initial due diligence field assessments and heritage management advice in my local area and from 2023 have made it my core focus.
