But in 2012 she made a switch to archaeology with an MSc in Human Osteology and Paleopathology followed by a PhD Osteoarchaeology, both at the University of Bradford. She is currently a Lecturer in Biological Anthropology at the University of Bradford and will soon take up the position of Lecturer in Osteoarchaeology at the University of Exeter.
