Meticulous Crime Scene Investigator with strong evidence collection skills.
What I'm looking for
As a Certified Crime Scene Investigator with three years of experience, I have honed my skills in evidence collection, documentation, and scene processing. My proficiency in crime scene photography, sketching, and maintaining the chain of custody has allowed me to contribute effectively in sensitive environments. I pride myself on my meticulous attention to detail and my ability to communicate clearly and work collaboratively with law enforcement personnel.
In my current role at the Houston Forensic Science Center, I respond to major crime scenes, documenting evidence through various means, including photography and sketching. I have successfully led the verification process for drug and currency evidence submissions and have a proven track record of processing areas for trace, latent prints, or DNA evidence. My previous experience as a Police Assistant has equipped me with the skills to support detectives effectively, having closed over 100 financial crime cases while assisting in trial preparation and evidence organization.
