My professional journey has been marked by significant engagements in high-stakes contexts such as armed conflicts, post-conflict scenarios, migration crises, natural disasters, and urban violence. I have a robust background in working within various justice frameworks including national systems for common crime prosecution, transitional justice systems for human rights violations, and international justice systems pursuant to the Rome Statute. As an academic, I have taught both undergraduate and master's-level courses in forensic medicine, contributing to the field through both in-person and online platforms.
