I am a Lecturer in Policing at York St John University. I am a self-directed and driven academic with an interdisciplinary background spanning law, criminology, and psychology, which allows me to offer a holistic perspective on contemporary policing. My teaching interests focus on policing, criminal justice, and experiential approaches to criminal justice education.
I hold a PhD in Laws from The Chinese University of Hong Kong and bring extensive teaching experience from several higher education institutions across Hong Kong. In 2019, I was awarded the Fulbright Award, a prestigious international scholarship programme, through which I spent time as a visiting scholar at the School of Criminology and Criminal Justice at Arizona State University in the United States.
Beyond my university role, I served as the Chair of the North Yorkshire Independent Scrutiny and Oversight Board in 2025–2026, where I led discussions scrutinising North Yorkshire Police’s implementation of the Police Race Action Plan. I also work closely with partners and external organisations, such as North Yorkshire Police, to enhance students’ learning experiences.
I am passionate about teaching, community engagement, and strengthening collaboration between academia and law enforcement. Looking ahead, I aim to further develop and implement transformative, practice-focused, and experiential learning programmes within the fields of criminal justice.
