I've always been into medicine. Then I got really confused when I was exposed to scientists of all kinds. My confusion grew until I discovered forensic science. But I was still at a crossroads: helping live people, or putting the deceased to rest. That's when I figured out my answer didn't have to be one or the other. I could save lives and have my hand in justice as well as use my analytical mindset. I plan to major in Chemistry and minor in Psychology and Philosophy. I aspire to become a Forensic Pathologist.
