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. 


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.
