Senior Lecturer in the Institute of Law and Justice.

Previously a Probation Officer and Senior Manager within Her Majesty's Prison and Probation Service.

I'm part of the Community Justice Learning Team and I teach undergraduate criminology and on the Professional Qualification in Probation.  I joined Sheffield Hallam University in 2019 having previously worked as a probation practitioner and manager for 17 years. My research interests relate to desistance, probation practice and probation training. I'm currently involved in research with other members of the Law and Criminology Department  relating to professional curiosity, emotional labour and burnout within the context of probation practice. I'm also working towards the Professional Doctorate in Education. My research relates to pedagogical approaches to enhancing critically reflective practice in probation practitioners.
