Professional Experience: |
I have demonstrated experience in providing high level policy and legislative advice across a wide spectrum of law enforcement and security issues, which I have recently supplemented with exposure to complex legal proceedings operated in public view operating to a very condensed timeline.
In my last role as a Senior Legal Officer at the Royal Commission into Trade Union Governance and Corruption, I provided legal advice on the functions and operations of the Commission across a wide variety of laws include police powers and administrative law, including to the Commissioner directly and independently.
I have also provided high level policy advice to the NSW Government in relation to police and emergency services, including on implementing sensitive and controversial policy reforms in the sector. I have also provided one-on-one support for independent policy reviews, including a former Australian Attorney General.
I have extensive experience in advising on, creating and passing amendments to Australian State and Federal telecommunications interception and surveillance devices laws, including amendments to facilitate Australia’s accession to the Council of Europe Convention on Cybercrime, for which I was awarded an Australia Day Achievement Award in 2012.
In addition to my detailed subject matter knowledge, my key strengths are my excellent written and oral communication skills. I have professional experience in a number of government portfolios and have very strong academic qualifications in law and politics.

Education: |
I have recently completed a Master of Laws in International Crime and Justice at the United Nations Interregional Crime and Justice Research Institute, obtaining a final grade of 110/110, and completing a research project on the characterisation of cyber attacks within the existing and emerging frameworks of cyber-crime, cyber-terrorism and cyber-war.
The program comprised a series of group projects including a Moot Court, mock trial exercise, research report for the Post Conflict Study Centre of the Italian Armed Forces, as well as the preparation of a thesis. Many of these projects had overlapping deadlines, and group members with varying degrees of English comprehension. I took on leadership roles in these projects, developing plans in a consultative way to ensure that the relevant outcomes were delivered on time to a high standard.
The program complements my domestic legal studies, in which I obtained a Graduate Diploma in Legal Practice from the Australian National University, in which I placed first in my cohort, as well as a combined Bachelors Degree in Arts and Law at Macquarie University, with Honors.
