I knew forensic anthropology was the career for me, so my mom and I looked into a bunch of schools that have programs for that. Hamline is one of the very few schools that has any sort of forensic program at all. After I went on a tour, met some students, and had some one-on-one talks with them, I thought, 'Yep, this is where I want to be.'"
