Personal profile

Research overview

I am a PhD researcher at the University of St Andrews, supervised by Dr Carlos Machado, Professor Rebecca Sweetman, and Professor Jason König. My PhD will use network analysis and phenomenological approaches to consider how monumental Christianisation spread across Late Antique Macedonia and the impact that this had on the region's lived experience. The Ewan & Christine Brown Postgraduate Scholarship in the Arts and Humanities generously funds my research.

Biography

I completed my BA (Hons) at the University of Southampton in Archaeology and Ancient History in 2021. In 2022 I graduated with distinction from the MSc in Archaeology at the University of Oxford. My dissertation entitled 'Late Antique Christian Bread Stamps: The Possibilities and Difficulties of Archaeological Interpretation', was supervised by Dr Ine Jacobs. Between 2022 and 2023 I worked as a commercial archaeologist in the UK and gained invaluable experience in both field archaeology and post-excavation before joining St Andrews to begin my PhD.
