Australian Capital Territory Branch

I am a Forensic Document Examiner & Forensic Facial Image Examiner. I conduct forensic handwriting, facial image comparison, and document examinations. I also advise on secure passport design, fraud detection and biometrics. As a dedicated ANZFSS member since 2006 and with previous Committee experience in the NSW Branch, I plan to re-invigorate the ACT Branch in 2021/22.

I’m a Chemist and Lab Manager with 15 years of experience in forensic, medical and regulatory science environments. I’m currently pursuing further studies in science communication.

I am the ACT Branch Secretary and have been working as a Forensic Chemist since 2018. My background is in Heritage Science, and I hold a Master of Arts in Textile Conservation from the University of Southampton. I am an Accredited Conservator under The Institute of Conservation (ICON) UK.

Commencing in forensics in 2006, I specialise in facial comparison, forensic accounting and forensic quality management systems. My current responsibilities involve leading a team to oversee the laboratory quality system and monitor accreditation compliance. I welcome the opportunity to use my skills to benefit the ACT Branch and our members.

I am a Senior Forensic Chemist with 20 years’ experience in both the UK and Australia examining trace evidence including glass, paint and polymers.

I’m a forensic identification subject matter expert, specialising in biometrics and laboratory management. As the Director of private consulting firm, ForenSys, I provide public and private sector agencies with advice and other services relating to forensic, identity, and intelligence systems.

I am a Forensic Chemist and hold a Bachelor of Forensic Science, with Honours and a Bachelor of Criminology and Criminal Justice from Griffith University. I am an ACT Branch general member and joined ANZFSS as a student member in Queensland in 2014.

I am a Forensic Chemist and hold an Honours Degree of Bachelor of Science (Forensic and Analytical Science) from Flinders University. I have been an ANZFSS member since 2015.

I am a Forensic Chemist reporting on glass, ignitable liquid residues, and explosives. I hold a Bachelor of Forensic Biology, and a PhD in Forensic Chemistry where I specialised in assessing training aids for blood-detection canines. I have been a member of ANZFSS since 2010.

With over 20 years forensic teaching experience, I am currently a Senior Teacher with the CIT Health, Community Science College – Forensic Studies.  Previously I was a police officer, achieving fingerprint expert status with the NSW Police Force. As a practitioner and expert witness in fingerprint examination and identification, I work with national and international law enforcement groups from the Pacific, Asia and Middle Eastern regions.

As the current academic coordinator for the Faculty of Science and Technology at Canberra Uni, I have always had a passion for forensic science, with my postgraduate studies (Masters and PhD) being in forensic chemistry working with both the AFP & the ADF. I look forward to reconnecting with the Canberra forensic community as I re-join the ANZFSS Committee (having last been involved from 2006-2012).
