Hair Analysis in Forensic Microscopy

Acknowledgments:

I would like to thank Dr. Madeline McLeod for helping me develop this infographic in its early stages, particularly for helping me take the approach of developing an infographic for forensic science disciples. I am also grateful to my friends, family, and colleagues for their assistance in constructive feedback throughout my editing. Along with their tremendous support throughout this process. I am indebted to Dr. Madeline McLeod for allowing me to share this topic with our community.

I was born and raised on the border of Texas in the city of Brownsville. Upon graduating in the Spring of 2026, I will receive a bachelor's degree in forensic science biology. After graduation, I plan to pursue a medical degree to specialize in cardiology or pediatrics. While at St. Mary's University, I have assisted in the planning committee for the Women in STEM dinner, an event empowering and encouraging all people to support and appreciate the work done in the science community by women. I have also participated in the TRiO Student Support Services Program, where I serve as a peer coach and tutor for the students within the program to assist with students who are first-generation, low-income, or have a documented disability. Additionally, I participated as an undergraduate research student under the direction of Dr. Enslow and Dr. McLeod.

    This infographic gave me more information about the use of hair analysis in forensics that I was unaware of before and made me interested to learn more so I can apply the learning to the rest of my forensics knowledge. The infographic was also well crafted and made the information easy to follow even for those that don’t have any previous forensics knowledge, which can make a difference in the spread of information.
