I am an archaeologist, specialising in Australian rock art, with particular interests in Pilbara engraved art and rock art of the Northeast Kimberley. My research is focused on style and group identity, which was applied to Marapikurrinya (Port Hedland) engraved rock art for my PhD.
I am currently working as a Project Manager and Research Fellow on the ARC Linkage project 'Desert to the Sea', and previously on 'Kimberley Visions'.
