Project Coordinator of Not Guilty: The Sydney Exoneration Project, University of Sydney

I completed my Bachelor in Sciences majoring in Psychology (1999) at the University of British Columbia in Vancouver, Canada. For my final year research project and under the supervision of Dr John Yuille, I investigated the effects of trauma on autobiographical memory recall. I subsequently went on to achieve my Masters degree in Forensic Psychology (2006) at the UNSW. I worked under Professor Amanda Barnier and my research examined the impact of expertise and framing on judgments of genuine and deceptive trauma accounts. After completing my Masters program I worked as a forensic psychologist for private practice. My job entailed conducting clinical investigative interviews and providing psychological assessment reports for the court. I completed my PhD in Cognitive Science (2016) at Macquarie University in the ARC Centre of Excellence in Cognition and its Disorders. My PhD dissertation was on how individual and social factors impact autobiographical memory variation across retellings. I am currently the Project Coordinator of Not Guilty: The Sydney Exoneration Project at the University of Sydney.
