Greetings AFTE Members and Friends,
My name is Kelly Price and I recently graduated
summa cum laude with a Bachelor of Science in Chemistry. I've always wanted a career in forensic science
(much to the frustration of my research-focused professors), but it has taken me a while to realize my potential. I am 30 years old and just getting my first degree, but I am thankful I waited until maturity caught up with youthful passion to tackle the many challenges of my chosen career-path.
I feel I have proven myself to be a competitive and ambitious candidate with two hard-won forensic laboratory internships
(both firearms and toolmarks units) and several notable academic achievements
(4.0 GPA, Dept of Chemistry & Physics "Student of the Year," and the FSU Chancellor's List). I hope to begin my career as a crime scene technician or forensic examiner/scientist trainee in the Triangle area (Raleigh, Durham, Chapel Hill) of North Carolina. However, I am quite willing to broaden my search area, and in fact I've applied to a few positions and sent several resumes out to many large and small jurisdictions in NC.
My
LinkedIn profile is open to everyone. Any advice or information would be greatly appreciated. Thank you.
