About Me.
From my undergraduate studying Archaeology, I have learnt the history of our ancestors through analysing historical remains. It is important to preserve and understand our history, which conservation allow us to pass on the history and educate the public.
I have always been a great listener and a caring person, I believe conservation can help to make a better change to the society as the past shaped who we are now. I am particularly interested into the ethical issues in conservation and the importance of ethical consideration in decision-making process in conservation. The lack of public-engagement and diversity in conservation makes me want to make a change and find new creative ways to engage with stakeholders.

Worked with a team of archaeologists and conservators to preserve a 40-year-old archaeological excavation site that was used during Neolithic, the Copper Age and the Bronze Age. We focused on the long-term preservation and conservation of the tell. As the profiles were very fragile, we had to make mud bricks and built a retaining wall.
