Summary

Criminology graduate with a strong academic foundation in crime, justice, and community safety, bringing a research-informed understanding of the social, psychological, and environmental factors that influence offending and victimisation. Throughout my studies, I developed analytical and critical thinking skills, enabling me to assess complex information and apply evidence-based approaches to problem solving.

Alongside my academic background, I have cultivated strong interpersonal and communication skills, with particular strengths in conflict resolution, teamwork, and supporting individuals in challenging circumstances. I am motivated by a genuine commitment to helping others, with a specific interest in assisting people experiencing mental health crises and promoting community wellbeing. Resilient under pressure and adaptable in fast-paced situations, I am dedicated to applying both my criminological knowledge and practical skills to contribute positively to policing and public safety.
