I was born in 1988 in Crawley, West Sussex and grew up in Horsham.

In 2009 I graduated with a BA (Hons) in Archaeology and Mediaeval Studies from the University of Wales, Lampeter and in 2013 completed a master's thesis on the use of Geographic Information Systems in archives. I currently work in local government.
