I sm 25 years old and I have completed a Bachelor’s degree in Archaeology at Drakeham University,where I received first class honours.Prior to this I was a pupil at Berkeley Comprehensive,where I obtained 9 GCSEs and three A levels in History,Geography and Latin.

Since the completion of my BA I have spent two years working as assistant archaeologist on a site in Egypt.During this expedition I have assisted in the discovery of several interesting artifacts.This work was extremely enjoyable and I am now anxious to specialise by gaining further qualifications before embarking on my chosen career in this field.
