As the London Administrator, I am responsible for the BSA’s Supporter Memberships and the running of the London Office, managing correspondence, finances, and day-to-day operations, liaising with staff and committees in Athens and London. I also organise key events and meetings in London and oversee supporter communications, publications, and activities of the UK Friends.
I hold a PhD in Archaeology (University College London), MA in Archaeology & Prehistory (University of Sheffield) and a BSc in Archaeology (Cardiff University). I have been working as an archaeologist, mainly based in Crete, for the Heraklion Archaeological Museum and the Hellenic Archaeological Service, for archaeological research and fieldwork projects, carried out by institutions and universities in Greece and abroad; also worked as a curatorial project assistant for the Stratigraphical Museum at the Knossos Research Centre (BSA) as well as a research assistant in the Classics Department at the University of Glasgow.
