Previously Director of the Postgraduate Diploma of Legal Practice, she currently teaches Principles of Criminal Law and Procedure (LAW5001) and Criminal Law 2 (LAW4332) for 2025, preparing students for legal practice in Victoria.
Her academic credentials include:

Research centers on criminal law practice, criminology, and disability-law intersections with specialized focus on acquired brain injury (ABI) among young offenders. Her scholarship examines legal ethics, medical law, and innovative legal education models including online training, consistently prioritizing justice outcomes for vulnerable populations such as culturally diverse youth and neurodisabled individuals. This work directly contributes to UN Sustainable Development Goals in justice and education.
Recent publications (2021-2025) reveal thematic continuity in ABI-criminal justice relationships, with evolving emphasis on court participation barriers, therapeutic jurisprudence, and family violence linkages. Her output demonstrates methodological diversity across peer-reviewed articles, policy reports, and comparative monographs, consistently influencing Australian legal practice and policy reform.
Research funding includes major grants from the Legal Services Board (2009-2013 infringement system study), Office of Public Advocate (2014-2020 ABI project), Australian Institute of Criminology (2019-2020 youth offenders extension), and Victoria Law Foundation (2007-2008 online training research). Current 2025 projects analyze media reporting's erosion of presumption of innocence. Supervision focuses on Criminal Law and Practice within Monash's graduate programs.
Collaborative networks feature core partnerships with Professor Bernadette Saunders and Associate Professor Anna Eriksson, extending to justice professionals, health practitioners, and international institutions including the University of Oxford where she served as Visiting Researcher (2020). Her work integrates criminological, legal, and health perspectives through interdisciplinary team structures.
