About

I undertook international training in Singapore and became a Certified Practitioner in Emotional Skills and Competencies (ESaC) and Evaluating Truthfulness and Credibility (ETaC), including reading micro expressions, through the scientific methodologies and teachings of Dr Paul Ekman. I then went on to successfully complete the Ekman Associate Program via the UK and from September 2020 to February 2022 was a licensed Ekman Associate.

I have received specialised training in the cutting-edge behavioural science methodologies of Dr Paul Ekman, renowned psychologist, researcher and the world’s foremost expert in facial expressions and deception detection and I continually undertake study and industry training to keep up to date with the latest developments in the fields of psychology, sociology and neuroscience.
