Duties:
Sheri showed me how to analyze fingerprints and went to the lab to help find fingerprints on evidence. I could not go on crime scenes though. Tony Nguyen, who works with Sheri taught me about crime scene photographs and taught me about the different types of shots to take.

• Contact Name: Sheri Orellana

   Number: (909) 620- 3726

Interpretive:
What I gained from this experience is how to be able to process something, like evidence carefully because Sheri taught me how to handle evidence to make sure the fingerprints are not smeared and that the package is sealed correctly. I always had to wear gloves when I handled a piece of evidence so my fingerprints would not get on them. This helped me understand how important it is to handle items because even if they are not important, it is still a process that must be done in order to do a job correctly.

Applied:
This helped me answer my EQ because I learned how important the jobs in CSI are. A photographer has to be attentive in a crime scene to make sure they don't miss anything, as taught by Sheri Orellana, Tony Nguyen, and Adam MacDonald. The sketcher has to be able to take measurements of the crime scene as accurately draw it to be able to make it digital when they arrive at their office. I went with Sheri to after- crime scene to take measurements because no one took measurements of it. A person has to be able to do their job because it is essential to CSI, the court and anyone else who needs their help.
