I hold a Bachelor of Arts, a Bachelor of Laws and a Master of Criminal Justice (Distinction) (University of Canterbury) and my interests lie in prisons, punishment of criminal offending, and criminal justice systems. Prior to returning to academia to undertake my graduate studies, I practiced law and worked across various state agencies in Aotearoa New Zealand as a public servant.
