I’m Kylie Ratzloff, a recent Forensic Science graduate from Wichita State University
Through coursework and hands-on laboratory experience, I developed a strong foundation in forensic methodologies, documentation standards, and critical thinking. I am seeking an entry-level role or graduate opportunity where I can apply scientific principles, maintain evidentiary integrity, and contribute meaningfully to investigative teams.
