Researcher specialising in organised and economic crime, with specific expertise in asset recovery and proceeds of crime legislation. Currently focusing on asset recovery in England and Wales, supported by a grant from the National Economic Crime Centre/UK Home Office. Having initially trained as a translator, my journey as a criminologist began in 2012 while I was living and working in Calabria, Italy as part of the EU-funded Leonardo da Vinci scheme. My experiences with anti-mafia organisations in Calabria inspired my AHRC-funded PhD, which I successfully defended in 2018. I continue to develop and maintain collaborative partnerships with law enforcement practitioners working in the field, in the UK, Italy, and beyond.
