I hold an MSc in Applied Research awarded by Staffordshire University in 2019, where I undertook research into the interactions between police officers and domestic abuse victims. I hold a BSc in Physical Geography and Sociology awarded by Keele University in 2003.
I have a keen interest in improving the police response to domestic abuse and am inspired by my mother-in-law, Mary, who herself is a DV survivor. I am working towards qualification in Advanced Mentoring and Post-graduate certificate in higher professional education.
