What I'm looking for

I'm seeking career growth and a specialised role in risk, operations, compliance, investigations or analytical functions within a structured organisation.

At Independent Practice, I provide criminology-based consulting, preparation and analytical support across court proceedings, disciplinary hearings and organisational case assessments. I work alongside law firms to help clients and witnesses prepare to testify and understand what to expect in court.

I conduct independent criminological assessments by reviewing available information and evidence, identifying risk indicators, patterns and inconsistencies, and highlighting areas that may warrant further enquiry. This supports organisations in deciding whether a formal investigation may be appropriate.

At Natal Cladding – New Germany, I coordinated administrative and operational functions in a high-risk construction and industrial environment, including maintaining compliance records and supporting audits. Earlier, as Branch & Accounts Administrator at Mr Sauce – New Germany, I managed branch operations, financial administration, inventory and staff supervision.
