I am an early-mid-career academic in forensic & analytical chemistry. I teach into a range of undergraduate and postgraduate units in the areas of chemistry, forensic science, data analysis, and scientific research skills. I have an established research profile in trace evidence analysis, document examination and forensic education - the latter tying into my enthusiasm for STEM outreach. In addition to my experience in higher education, I have professional experience in analytical laboratories for soil quality testing and illicit drug analysis.
