Summary
My experience is in culinary arts and restaurant management, but I am currently studying Biology. My goal is to work in forensics. There are a few fields that I am interested in, but I would like to gain some experience in a few before making a decision. I am finishing my associates degree, and then I am going to be earning a Bachelors degree in Biology.
