Nick's Bio

Originally from Bedworth, just north of Coventry, I studied BSc Archaeology at Bournemouth University graduating in 2004. After solo travels around Europe working in retail, social care and as an archaeologist, I moved to York in 2008 to study part time for my MA in Medieval Archaeology at the University of York. I graduated with distinction but was unable to continue my studies due to lack of financial support. I continued to work in social care and retail, becoming a manager for both before being able to combine my heritage related education and management skills in my current role at The Rowntree Society. I am dyslexic and have experienced periods of mental ill health which I have had to navigate throughout my work.
