About
I gained my PhD from the University of Sheffield in 2016, researching how women move on from (or "desist") from crime. For this, I spent significant time based at Together Women Sheffield- a community centre in Sheffield that caters for women involved (and at risk of involvement) in the Criminal Justice System.
I joined Sheffield Hallam in September 2014 and have taught on a variety of Law, Criminology, and Clinical modules. I have also received my PGCert for Learning and Teaching in Higher Education.
In 2018 I was awarded, with my module team, the British Society of Criminology's Award for Excellence in Teaching Criminology for our design and delivery of our Level 6 module "Making Desistance and Recovery a Reality". We continue to work with a number of external partners on this.
I am research active and have presented at a number of national and international conferences.I cover both Law and Criminology modules, and am interested in possibilities for integrating good quality innovation (both technological and artistic) into my teaching. I also enjoy preparing students for the reality of work in Criminal Justice and Legal professions.
