Hi! So there really isn't much for me to edit here. I think your sections are a good start but maybe some more would be better and maybe something specific about her achievements or specific sites she worked on would be good to add as well. A good place to go from here would be to add what that specific archaeologist added to the field of Australian Archaeology and where she works. You guys also haven't done the headers totally right so that they should stand out a little bit more.

Thank you for coming in to provide feedback! Always appreciated. Smith is only notable because she received a single academy position. Really nothing more. I spent time trying to find anything else about her in the press, and I was pretty disappointed by that. Too bad, but super happy to see as many females posted here despite their career hindrences.
