She joined UWA in 2016 after holding research positions within Australian state and federal government agencies, including the Corruption and Crime Commission and the Australian Institute of Criminology. She consults to and advises various United Nations bodies, such as her contribution to the Legislative Guide on Combatting Crimes in the Fisheries Sector and invitation to present at the 25th session of the Commission on Crime Prevention and Criminal Justice in Vienna.
