Professional Profile and Research Interests
My research specialisation is in the fields of sociology, criminology and law. My current research focuses on the involvement of women in organised crime groups and illicit business, with a comparative international focus. I am seeking an opportunity with a university with a multi-disciplinary approach that is welcoming of research with an international focus.
I have delivered a high-quality learning experience to undergraduate students, across two universities in New Zealand and multiple faculties, consistently receiving positive feedback from independent faculty evaluations. I engage with innovative learning techniques and am comfortable with online and distant learning methods. Education
