About

I have recently joined the policing team as a lecturer after completing both my undergraduate and postgraduate studies here at the University of Derby.

I have had two successful careers, firstly, with the British Army where I worked in Intelligence and, secondly, with Warwickshire Police as a Sergeant, where I worked in a number of roles, including proactive policing, Custody Sergeant and, lastly, as a Reactive Shift Sergeant. Unfortunately, my time with the police was cut short due to an injury sustained on duty.
