After completing my undergraduate study at the University of Exeter in sociology (first class), I spent three years working in the financial services industry in London. I have now returned to Exeter to complete a PhD. My research is funded by the ESRC and conducted in relation to a core-funded project, 'The use of forensic DNA technologies in police practice', headed by Dr Christine Hauskeller and Dr Dana Wilson-Kovacs.

Presentations
'The use of forensic DNA technologies in police practice', ADAPT All Suppliers Workshop, National Policing Improvement Agency, Coventry, 11 November 2010.‘How DNA matters: An ethnographic investigation of police practices’, Egenis Post-Graduate Day, Exeter, 9 November 2010.
My research explores the role of the perceptions, the training and the practices of Crime Scene Investigators in their use of DNA and forensic science in day-to-day police work. Entitled 'How DNA matters: An ethnographic investigation of police practices', it pays specific attention to the taught and tacit knowledge used in the practices surrounding the use of forensics, demarcating and defining the crime scene and managing the relationships between the different stakeholders involved in criminal investigations.
I also have a keen, broad interest in cultural sociology and qualitative research methods.
