"My Forensic Science journey began with a strong interest in getting involved in Forensic Identification. It took a big turn in my fourth year as I did my practicum and thesis at Windsor Regional Hospital in Pathology. I was amazed and inspired by the career of a Pathologists’ Assistant. Shortly after graduating with Honours - Molecular Biology and Biochemistry, I was hired as a Pathologist’s Assistant at Windsor Regional Hospital."
