I am a Medicolegal Death Investigator with the El Paso County Office of the Medical Examiner with interest in medical/biological anthropology and forensic anthropology. I obtained my Bachelor’s degree in Forensic Science with a concentration in Chemistry from UTEP in 2018, and earned my Master’s degree in Anthropology from NMSU in 2022. My MA thesis research focused on decomposition in the Chihuahuan desert and understanding decomposition in different scenarios.
