I am studying the Juris Doctor at Sydney University Law School part-time. (Commonwealth Supported Place).

Work Experience I was employed at the NSW Police Force, Office of the Commissioner in the Strategic Priorities and Identity Unit as a Policy Officer (ARP Senior Policy officer).

Research ExperienceI conducted a research project in 2010 for the Salvation Army titled - Towards social inclusion: fostering social inclusion, among the disadvantaged, in the Salvations Army’s community centre Street Level. This research had affinity with the Governments Social Inclusion Agenda. I developed research reports, centred on policy reform, at the completion of my research.
