As of 24th September 2026, I am a retired Criminologist and Psychology researcher in Forensic and Occupational Psychology, working as a Senior Lecturer in the Discipline of Psychology at the University of Canberra (UC). 

In my career I have worked on criminology, law and psychology consultancies, justice agency program evaluations, and applied research in the forensic sciences, law and psychology. I have published over 80 peer-reviewed publications and Industry reports and have been awarded over $630,000 in research funding. I have won two national awards from the Institute of Forensics Sciences, changed how police investigative practice is carried out in adult sexual assault, and amended the law in respect of what evidence is sufficient to build a prosecution brief for sexual assault.

I have delivered invited presentations and keynotes on my work in the United Kingdom, Switzerland, Singapore, Kuala Lumpur, New Zealand and Australia. I have consulted with the Australian Federal Police, National Institute of Forensic Science, Victorian Institute of Forensic Medicine, Australian Association of Forensic Physicians, the Justice Departments in Western Australian, Northern Territory and Tasmania, and the Canberra PCYC.

I have supervised 9 PhD students to completion, at the University of Canberra (4), at the University of Tasmania (5).
