Kiarelys Colon De La Cruz

My intended career path is to become a Medical Examiner. I am pursuing a degree in Criminology with an interest in forensic science because I am passionate about using science to assist criminal investigations and uncover the truth. Medical examiners play a vital role in determining causes of death, supporting law enforcement, and providing answers to families during difficult times. My goal is to continue my education, gain experience in forensic and investigative settings, and ultimately serve my community through a career that combines science, medicine, and justice.

I plan to pursue advanced education that will prepare me for a career as a Medical Examiner. I am interested in programs related to forensic science, pathology, medicine, and criminal justice. My long-term goal is to attend medical school and complete the specialized training required to become a board-certified Medical Examiner. I am particularly interested in studying how scientific evidence can contribute to accurate investigations and strengthen the justice system.

Reading true crime and forensic science literature, volunteering in church ministries, spending time with family and friends, fitness and Pilates, caring for my dogs, listening to podcasts related to criminal justice and psychology, event planning, and community service.
