Welcome to 'i love archaeology'!

I’m an archaeologist, mentor, and science communicator with nearly two decades of experience in academia. My journey took a transformative turn when I transitioned from academia to freelancing, establishing a fulfilling career path rooted in personal and professional growth.

As a mentor, I specialize in empowering individuals at career crossroads, helping them navigate challenges with kindness, effectiveness, and actionable strategies. Whether you’re seeking to rediscover your potential, transition beyond academia, or turn setbacks into strengths, I’m here to guide you toward clarity and confidence.

Beyond mentoring and archaeology, I am passionate about science communication, volunteering with international organizations, and fostering vibrant community connections.

Alternative Career Paths

Do you feel blocked and that there's no way to figure your career path? 

There is! 

And you have all the resources.

You just need to (re)discover them.

Life Beyond Academia

Did you spend countless years building your academic career and have no perspective?

You are not alone!

The lack of security, the toxicity and overwork might bring you down. How about investing in building a future where you are on the first place?

From Pain to Gain

Abuse of power, harassment, isolation, lack of perspective, underpayment, overwork, inequity, instability. 

Does this sound familiar?

You are not alone in this!

Find support and transform your pains into gains.

Testimonials

"Alexandra mentored me during one year and she was fantastic! She was a fantastic mentor. Although we were from different sectors of activities -she is from a more academic sector while I am in the corporate sector - she could really understand the problematics I shared with her and she provided me with great insights while she could also share her perspective from a different lense and it lead to many very good breakthroughs for my own choices and career. I highly recommend her!"
