Tasmania Branch

I am a senior lecturer in Criminology at the University of Tasmania and the coordinator of the forensic studies research stream at the Tasmanian Institute of Law Enforcement Studies. Our research explores forensic science from a social science perspective. I have been a member of ANZFSS since 2014 and previously served as the secretary of the Tasmanian branch.

I have been employed as a Forensic Biologist at Forensic Science Service Tasmania since 2002. My areas of authorisation include crime scene examination, biological examination and DNA profiling and I have particular interests in bloodstain pattern analysis and disaster victim identification. I have been a member of ANZFSS for over 20 years and I am the immediate past President of the Tasmanian branch.

I have been an ANZFSS member for over 25 years and Treasurer for the Tasmanian branch for the past ten. Previous roles have included the President and Vice President positions. I have worked in the firearms and toolmarks discipline for over 34 years.

I have been an ANZFSS member since 2016, a General Committee member for two years and Secretary of the Tasmanian Branch since 2021. I have worked in both Forensic Biology and Chemistry; my current duties are in Forensic Toxicology and assisting at crime scenes when required.
