Tessa has a BA and MA in Archaeology, awarded by Cardiff University and she is currently undertaking her PhD at the same institution. After gaining a broad knowledge of various time periods through an archaeological perspective during her BA studies, she began to specialise in ancient Egyptian archaeology during her MA and continues to build her knowledge of the subject during her PhD. Tessa's current research interests centre on the lives and burial practices of the lower classes of ancient Egyptian society as well as the history of travel to Egypt through the centuries with particular focus on what can be learnt from accounts left by early travellers and how this can expand our current archaeological understanding of ancient Egypt. Tessa has experience lecturing undergraduate students at Cardiff University and currently works for the National Museum Cardiff as an Education facilitator, working with and delivering workshops to all age groups.
