Formerly a researcher with the British Museum and Oxford University research project 'Empires of Faith' (2013-2017), funded by the Leverhulme Trust and led by Prof. Jaś Elsner, which explored the role of objects and formation of iconography in religions across Eurasia during Late Antiquity. As part of this project, we curated the Ashmolean Museum exhibition 'Imagining the Divine: art and the rise of world religions' (Oct 2017-Feb 2018). After studying Classical Archaeology and Ancient History at Lincoln College, my doctorate was supervised by Prof. R.R.R. Smith and Dr Rachel Mairs.
