I have spent 20 years in the Home Office working in a variety of operational roles, namely Customs, Immigration, Intelligence, Training, Document Examination and now in Home Office Customer Services Group. I have previously worked at both Heathrow and Bristol Airports and I have deployed overseas to deliver identity document security training and border management capacity building in Jamaica, Jordan (twice), Pakistan and Poland (twice). In 2022 I became an EU-qualified Security Sector Reform Advisor and I am also a member of the Biometrics Institute. I am an experienced Border Management and Identity professional with a particular interest in identity document security, border systems technology, strengthening border controls and securing identity systems against a variety of threats. In my current post in HM Passport, Citizenship and Civil Registration I am focusing on supporting the security of the UK’s national identity system by delivering professional investigation training to Counter Fraud staff in His Majesty's Passport Office.
