My first third level studies were in Archaeological Conservation (Institute of Archaeology, University College London). Following work as a conservator at excavations in Greece, Cyprus, Italy, UK and Ireland, I pursed studies in archaeology at the universities of Edinburgh (MA) and Liverpool (PhD). From 1995 until 2006 I was Research Curator of the Classical Museum, UCD, and from 2006-2013 Lecturer in Greek Archaeology and Curator of the Classical Museum at the same institution. I remain Assistan Professor in the UCD School of Classics. I have been involved for several years in the management of the Institute of Hellenic Studies at Athens (IIHSA) as UCD School of Classics rep on the Board, as Chair and between 2013 and 2022 as Director. I am an elected Fellow of the Society of Antiquaries of London (FSA). My research interests are the archaeology of Greece, especially the Greek Bronze Age and early Iron Age focusing on the Ionian islands. I have been running a multi-period archaeological landscape project on the island of Kephalonia, Greece. I am also interested in the history of Classical antiquities in Irish museums and collections.
