Experience 

I have 12 years’ experience working within forensic science. I started my career as a DNA analyst at LGC Forensics. I then moved to Surrey Police where I worked within their fingerprint enhancement and DNA labs and frequently attended crime scenes. My last employer was British Transport Police where I worked within their Laboratory Services as a Forensic Laboratory Officer and then Acting Laboratory Supervisor. 

I can help you with…

All things relating to DNA, fingerprint enhancement, validation and accreditation against ISO 17025/17020 and FSR codes of practice.

What was your first job in policing or forensics?

DNA analyst for LGC Forensics. My responsibilities included DNA recovery from crime scene exhibits, DNA extraction, amplification and profile interpretation. 

What is your favourite part of your role?

I feel proud to work for an organisation that wants to bring about meaningful change to the forensic community. 

What work in your career have you most enjoyed?

I get a buzz from working under pressure. I enjoyed processing urgent crime scene exhibits/samples for major crime cases or to meet suspect custody deadlines.
