Professional biography

I joined The Open University in March 2024 as a Postdoctoral Research Associate in the Faculty of Arts and Social Sciences (FASS), Psychology and Counseling. After completing my BSc in Forensic Science, an MSc in Criminology, and a PhD in Criminal Justice at Canterbury Christ Church University, I've developed a strong interest in the experiences of marginalized groups within the Criminal Justice System (CJS).

Research interests

As an early career researcher, my primary focus lies in the legal consciousness of migrant populations. I am particularly interested in the processes available to refugees and asylum seekers for asserting their rights regarding asylum and hate crime in the host country.  

Currently, I am utilizing my qualitative research skills, gained from working with marginalized and vulnerable groups, to investigate public trust in forensic science evidence within the Criminal Justice System.
