Make content about: Iram trained as an archaeologist

Stuck in her legal career, mother of two Iram switched paths to train as an archaeologist on a major excavation.

This story

Iram held a master's degree in law, volunteered at a law firm, and worked part-time as an accountant while raising two children. Unable to advance her career, she applied for a vocational archaeology traineeship exploring historic skeletons and ancient medical practices. She completed her training at a former burial ground in Birmingham and joined as a trainee archaeologist.
