Biography

I joined the ºÚÁÏÈë¿Ú in 2019 having been employed previously as a Probation Officer. I have worked in both the National Probation Service and in a Community Rehabilitation Company which has given me experience with a variety of offender groups. My professional experience included all aspects of community supervision, parole and resettlement, risk management, Court work and delivery of both accredited and non-accredited programmes. I have a particular interest in working with women within the Criminal Justice System and have worked in the design and delivery of female-specific interventions within Probation-led women's centres in locations across Hampshire. I hold a BSc. (Hons) Psychology from the University of Surrey, Roehampton and BA (Hons) Community Justice (Dip. Probation Studies) from the ºÚÁÏÈë¿Ú. I completed my Masters of Research in Criminology & Criminal Justice at the ºÚÁÏÈë¿Ú, where I am also studying for my PhD.
