I have been a Fellow of the Society for almost two decades. During that time I have lived and worked as an archaeologist both within and outwith Scotland, and as both an academic and commercial archaeologist. I currently live in South Wales with frequent returns to Scotland, especially to contribute to current excavation projects in the Northern Isles. I work in both commercial post-excavation (with Oxford Archaeology), and as an academic researcher and environmental specialist as a Visiting Fellow at the University of Bradford, focusing on Scottish archaeology.

I have had the privilege of contributing to Scottish archaeology for the last 24 years as an excavator, an environmental/geoarchaeological specialist, a project manager, a writer and a researcher, and have had the pleasure of involvement in Scottish projects of many periods and ranging from the Northern Isles to the Borders. During this time, I’ve enjoyed support from the Society as both an author and as a research grant recipient. I would like the opportunity to contribute to the Society in return as a Fellow with a wide range of experience: in project design and management, in excavation and public outreach, and in specialist research and academic publishing.
