The students. I really enjoy working with them and appreciate how they perceive the world. Students are very intuitive and they are usually much cleverer than you realize. I also must acknowledge that I love our faculty—we have incredible faculty and I enjoy being with them.

Chaminade has always felt very inclusive to me. I really feel that this place will acknowledge and accept people of all backgrounds. I really like that.

A 100% reliable way to determine how long someone has been dead does not exist. It may never exist. It is one of the weakest areas of forensic science and I aim to improve it.
 
𝗙𝗮𝘃𝗼𝗿𝗶𝘁𝗲 𝗺𝗼𝘃𝗶𝗲.
I don’t know if I have a favorite movie but I think everyone needs to watch Rear Window (1954), it deals with several modern issues. One of my favorites is relevant to the use of social media. One character feels that humans have become a bunch of “peeping toms,” always looking at others and judging them based on what they see—“what people need to do is look inside for a change.” I think that is solid 21st century advice. Plus, it is a murder mystery starring Grace Kelly, James Stewart, and Raymond Burr. What more could you ask for?!?!

Free food! It tastes better somehow.

My mom, who died in July 2020 after battling dementia. I would give just about anything to sit down with her for an hour—talking about my marriage and my work. We would also talk about the Kansas City Chiefs and Royals. In turn, I would like to learn more about my mom before she became a mom. Parents have lives before they become parents and I want to appreciate that more. I miss my mom and I think that would be a wonderful way to spend an hour.
