I joined the University of Staffordshire in 2020, initially as a Policing lecturer delivering across a range of modules before becoming a Senior Lecturer and taking over course leadership for our West Midlands Police students. In 2023 I took on the role of Business, Planning and Resourcing Manager for the Institute, line managing our professional support functions before moving to my current role as Course Director in 2026
Prior to joining the University of Staffordshire I began my career working for Sussex Police in range of roles including Operational Communications, Hate Crime Caseworker and Corporate Communications Manager. During this time I also served as volunteer Special Constable on Brighton Response and Neighbourhood Policing Teams.
In 2015 I moved to the Midlands and joined the Learning and Development team in Warwickshire & West Mercia Police, assessing learning needs and designing and delivering a range of training interventions. I also spent some time working for the College of Policing as a Senior Advisor in professional development looking at continuous professional development across a wide range of roles and ranks.
