I have been teaching on the Forensic Science Programme at ¾Ã¾Ã¾«Æ· since 2019. I joined our team when I moved back to the UK, after living in Australia for 10 years. Prior to ¾Ã¾Ã¾«Æ·, I worked as a Crime Scene Investigator for the Australian Federal Police (AFP) in Sydney working on high profile cases and operations involving large scale drug importations, transnational crime and other related organised crime investigations. I am also trained in DVI (Disaster Victim Identification) and in the analysis of footwear evidence. I have a great deal of experience in forensic casework including the analysis of illicit drugs, fingerprint development and trace evidence examinations.
