Why I became a CSI

I grew up watching “Quincy M.E.” before “CSI” the TV show existed and I was always fascinated in what happens to the human body during death and the tremendous amount of information you can gather by analyzing the decomposition process, wounds, and other artifacts on the body.  This motivated me to focus my education towards science.  I learned very quickly in my undergraduate studies that I did not want to work in a laboratory setting.  Through forensic internships I realized my passion lays working in the field which ultimately led me to be a CSI.
