I'm currently a Research Assistant at the Salvation Army Centre for Addiction Services and Research (SACASR) at the University of Stirling.
My undergraduate in Criminology & Law allowed me to explore my interest in criminal justice and substance use. I achieved a Masters of the Science in Substance Misuse as of 2023, which led me onto my position at SACASR/University of Stirling.
