What I'm looking for

I seek roles where I can apply forensic analytical techniques, contribute to investigative teams, and grow through hands-on casework and research in a collaborative, methodical environment.

I am a research-driven forensic science postgraduate with hands-on experience in ballistics, fingerprint analysis, and digital/physical evidence collection. I specialize in collecting, interpreting, and documenting diverse datasets to support evidence-based conclusions.

My practical experience includes internships at forensic laboratories and crime units where I conducted comparative analyses, maintained data integrity, and assisted in structured report preparation. I have applied quantitative and qualitative research methods in academic projects on cyberbullying and biological evidence differentiation.

I bring strong analytical reasoning, proficiency with forensic instruments and data tools, and a commitment to clear, actionable reporting. I aim to contribute to investigative teams and research initiatives that value rigorous methods and data-driven decision-making.
