Sophie Jennings—Consultant
Sophie Jennings is a Heritage Consultant at GML Heritage. She holds a
Bachelor of Arts majoring in Archaeology from the University of Sydney, with
Honours in Archaeology from the University of Western Australia. She has
eight years of experience working in the heritage sector, and has undertaken
archaeological projects in both Australia and England.
Prior to joining GML Sophie worked for several years in London, gaining
experience in undertaking archaeological impact assessments for major
commercial, industrial and residential developments across the city and
south-east England. This experience made her a skilled field archaeologist,
as she worked on a range of urban and rural excavations dating from the
Bronze Age through to the Tudor period. Sophie is also skilled in Aboriginal
archaeology, having undertaken the planning and management of heritage
surveys in Western Australia. In addition to the technical aspects of the role,
this involved Aboriginal community liaison and managing a range of
stakeholders from both government and private sectors.
