CV

The qualifications required for this job are:
This is a very unusual job, but having a good eye for detail definitely helps. You have to look for things other people might miss….
-
How I got into this job:
It was a bit of a mistake…! I was studying jewellery design, and was lucky enough to work on a project with a forensic scientist. Sometimes you have to just say “Yes!” to an opportunity when it arises – you never know what will happen!
-
Why did I choose this job:
I love jewellery and I love forensics, so much job allows me to do both! I am also very interested in how human beings decorate and adorn their bodies, and what this can tell us about their identity. My job allows me to study people through their jewellery and the objects they wear and carry. Which objects are special to you?
-
Experiences this job has given me that I might not have got elsewhere:
I have travelled the world, worked with the police, and visited lots of crime scenes.
