A.S. ON THE JOB W/ ISABELLA RAIGOZA (Forensic Archivist for the Los Angeles Police Department) 

1.What has your favorite part of the experience been?
“This role has brought me a step closer to a prospective career in forensic autopsies, which has made this experience especially meaningful for me. My favorite part has been gaining firsthand experience within a forensic laboratory setting and learning more about the different paths within the field. When people think of forensics, they often think of it as one type of job, when in reality, it encompasses so many different divisions and career paths. With that being said, it can be difficult to even get your foot in the door in this field. Being able to read cold case files firsthand, meet forensic scientists, and volunteer within the LAPD forensic system has been an incredible privilege.” - Isabella

2.How has AS helped you in this position?
“Coming into my first official year as an A.S. Marketing Coordinator has taught me the importance of clear communication and persistence. The process of getting my archivist role took a lot of emailing and networking, but I stayed persistent. Once I began my role, I was able to comfortably collaborate with other volunteers as we filed cases together efficiently, mirroring the teamwork and communication skills I’ve developed with my ASMC team… just in a very different setting.” - Isabella
