Chemistry and Biology

Indianapolis, Indiana

A forensic scientist with the Indiana State Police, as well as a licensed attorney in private practice.

I’ve worked in R&D as a research chemist and biologist, worked in lab safety, gotten a Master’s degree in forensic science, gotten a law degree

gave me not only the technical tools that have helped me in my career, but also the opportunity to gain the confidence I needed to adequately handle them. Small class sizes made it easy for my professors to get to know me and my strengths and to encourage their pursuit, and undergraduate research and help finding internships helped me further sharpen my skills during my time as an undergraduate—not something you necessarily get to do at a larger school!
