BIO

I have been a member of the Centre for Forensic Science at UTS since 2017 when I began working as a casual academic. Over my time at UTS I have taught into, designed, developed and coordinated a range of subjects across the Forensic Science Degrees, both undergraduate and postgraduate. I have recently completed my PhD entitled "The evaluation of forensic intelligence to better understand the criminal environment for Australian document fraud" which examined the underexplored fraudulent document criminal environment. Through this research I developed a passion for visual profiling, pattern recognition and exploring uncharted criminal environments. I was appointed as an Associate Lecturer at UTS in 2025 and am investigating new criminal environments that could benefit from a forensic intelligence approach.
