Biography

Occupation: Senior Cultural Heritage Consu Employer: Ove Arup & Partner Int Ltd Memo: I am a Senior Cultural Heritage Consultant in Arup Environmental with fifteen years of experience in the discipline. I undertake research and assessment work providing advice to a range of clients within the UK and overseas, on the archaeological and cultural heritage implications of developments and other projects undertaken by Arup. I am currently involved in developing the Socio-cultural component of Arup's involvement in Cultural Heritage. I am experienced in the use of GIS software providing mapping and undertaking site analysis using various GIS packages. Prior to joining Arup I worked as a heritage consultant for AOC Archaeology providing desk based assessments, archaeological risk assessment and cultural heritage planning advice in advance of development applications throughout South East England. I also worked for four years for the British Museum Company promoting various aspects of the British Museum's projects, exhibitions and publications. Before moving to the UK, I was employed for six years as a cultural heritage consultant in Australia for Archaeo Cultural Heritage Services, Brisbane. I was responsible for undertaking site assessments through field survey work, community engagement with Indigenous Traditional Owners, and providing input to land- and urban-scape redevelopments with a focus on cultural heritage values. I also undertook GIS modelling, mapping for Native Title Claims, and provided risk mitigation strategies for proposed developments in both the public and private sector. I also undertook research work in Greece which had a strong GIS element to it. I have currently been undertaking research and case study work in the UK and Brazil resulting in the development of a robust statistical model for measuring how local communities value local places and spaces.
