Aspiring forensic anthropologist with strong analytical and teamwork skills.
What I'm looking for
I am an aspiring forensic anthropologist with hands-on experience studying human anatomy, osteology, and decomposition through academic research and laboratory work. I bring strong analytical skills, attention to detail, and perseverance developed through rigorous coursework and practical experience.
My professional background includes roles in fraud risk analysis, item processing, and customer support where I applied data entry accuracy, quality assurance, and investigative tools to detect patterns and improve processes. I have experience training colleagues, documenting cases, and working effectively in team and independent settings.
I am motivated to apply classroom knowledge to real-world forensic work and continue growing toward a professional career in forensic anthropology, seeking opportunities that value collaboration, technical competence, and hands-on learning.
