A little bit about myself

I'm a Forensic Artist & Sculptor and I specialize in reconstructing faces from the skull and sketching composites. I have a Bachelor's Degree in Criminal Justice which is how I got started in the field of Forensics. For 19 years I worked in the Forensic Investigation Unit for the Sacramento Police Department in California and became the Police Department's first Forensic Artist. I later branched out as a consultant for Coroner's Offices and I am a freelance artist.

My expertise also includes crime scene investigation, anthropology, photography, and in my spare time I enjoy fine art projects.  As a Medical Investigator with the Federal Government, I am part of a team of forensic specialists who deploy out to disaster scenes and assist in the identification of victims of mass fatalities. I've responded to a tsunami, hurricane, wildfire, and the COVID-19 pandemic.
