I am a Lecturer in Forensic Science at Kingston University. After graduating with a degree in Forensic and Analytical Science from Robert Gordon University, I worked in the forensic industry as a DNA Analyst for one of the main forensic service providers in England for several years. I have extensive experience as a volume crime examiner, in pre-PCR and post-PCR sample processing, as well as in analysing and interpreting DNA results. During this time, I was also managing a fast throughput laboratory, ensuring sample delivery to various deadlines, including 8 hour turnaround time, whilst maintaining UKAS and internal quality standards. I was coordinator of the cold case laboratory team for several years, advising on sample preparation and bespoke processing for 30–40-year-old samples, with great success rates.
