About Me
I have been studying serial offenders for over 30 years and am a STEM Ambassador. I present science and CSI workshops through Aye Spy:CSI and Science Boffins.
Recently working with offenders, ex-offenders and those at risk from offending, to give them the skills to work to change their behaviour and get into (back into) the workplace/training/volunteering.
At age 11 I wrote a paper on Jack the Ripper for a high school English assignment and presented the information to my class using acetate sheets and paper handouts. The bullies were a bit scared and left me alone for a fortnight!
