About

I am a Lecturer in Criminology & Justice Studies at RMIT University, and a doctoral student at Monash University. At RMIT, I lead the work-integrated learning (WIL) team to deliver a core placement program to our undergraduate and postgraduate students. I am also involved in the Bridge of Hope Innocence Initiative at RMIT, a student-led innocence project investigating claims of wrongful conviction and advocating for criminal justice reform. My PhD at Monash University is currently exploring women's experiences of plea negotiations. My other research interests include wrongful conviction, parole policy, and work-integrated learning.
