Cassandra is currently a Senior Research Fellow, Faculty of Law, Cybersecurity Cooperative Research Centre, Queensland University of Technology. She joined QUT in 2012, from the Queensland Police Service, where she worked in research and policy roles. Since 2008, Cassandra has focused her research on various aspects of online fraud, including the policing of online fraud, the prevention of online fraud, and the need to support victims who experience online fraud. In 2011, she was awarded the Donald Mackay Churchill Fellowship, which enabled her to travel to the UK, USA and Canada to examine how these jurisdictions respond to online fraud. She has established strong relationships with law enforcement across Australia, evident in her collaborations and publications. She is the co author (with Professor Mark Button) of the book entitled "Cyber Frauds, Scams and their Victims" published by Routledge in 2017.
