Introduction

Hello everyone welcome to my blog! My name is Madison, mother of two. I grew up in New Mexico and eventually found myself in California, where I attended Hartnell College for a year majoring in psychology. I took a break to care for my first-born and two years later decided to go back to school. I have been taking classes online with Brandman University since the fall of 2015. My initial career aspiration was to become a clinical psychologist, but I also frequently considered law school. Recently when researching different graduate degrees I discovered forensic psychology, which seems to be the perfect blend of the two.

I would like to research further the different jobs one could hold with a forensic psychology degree and what their daily activities would consist of. If I am able to find a specific career path I would be interested in, I would then be able to research that specific career further. I would like to improve my research skills by learning how to better evaluate articles and determine if they are vetted sources. I can also improve by expanding my knowledge of resource citing. This would ultimately make me a better researcher and writer as well.
