My experience in forensic linguistics includes working with the Forensic Linguistics Capital Case Innocence Project (now the Forensic Linguistics Justice Project), the Institute for Forensic Linguistics, Threat Assessment, and Strategic Analysis, and Robert Leonard Associates. I have consulted on over 150 criminal, civil, and investigative matters. I am a member of various (national and international) academic and practitioner associations and an international threat assessment think tank.

My current research focuses on police discourse, and I have applied discourse analysis methodologies to the writings of school shooters, extremist propaganda and online radicalized communities, police interviews, redacted language evidence, wanted lists, and online discourse of sports media commentary.
