Summary
I completed a BSc. in International Law and Diplomacy and a MSc. in Forensic Criminology. I teach across the criminology programme and collaborate with colleagues on policing and social justice issues. I also have a strong enthusiasm for applied and interdisciplinary research.
About
I joined Sheffield Hallam as an associate lecturer in 2018 and my interest centers around crime prevention, the criminal justice system, criminological theories, gang culture and violence. I am particularly interested in the conceptualisation and theorisation of crime and my doctoral thesis explores police accountability. I am a member of the Chartered Institute of Arbitrators (CIArb) and a Fellow of the Higher Education Academy (FHEA).
