What attracted Coral to Extent?
When I first worked with Extent as a subcontractor I was overwhelmed by the culture at Extent. The team has a true passion for what they do and it was somewhere I really wanted to work. They really look after people and I could see that it was a place I wanted to work.

Coral’s Career Highlights

I spent a long time excavating multi-occupation sites in Israel which led to the discovery of many interesting things! My favourite was a Hyksos seal originally from Egypt which had ended up at the site I was working on. Observing the movement of culture through everyday items is something that has always fascinated me!
