I am by no means finished with my school as I am starting Arkansas in the spring to obtain my Doctorate in Forensic Anthropology.
I spend summers in workshop training. AP biology, AP environmental science, and pre-ap middle school were this summer's large workshops. Numerous one day training was scattered in between. TI conferences in early March and NABT conferences in fall are attended as well.
