1. Where are you doing your mentorship?
I am doing my mentorship at the Forensic Science Academy located in Rancho Cucamonga and also at the Ontario Police Department.
2. Who is your contact? What makes this person an expert?
My contact at Ontario Police Department is Officer Yzaguirre. Although he is not officially considered an expert in this field, he has had a lot of experience being a first responder in a investigation. My contact at the Forensic Science Academy is Terri Armenta who is a Forensic science educator and career expert. She is an expert because she has been a forensic teacher, educator and mentor for a long time and has helped many students pursue their forensic career.
3. How many hours have you done during the school year? (Summer Mentorship Hours and Mentorship Hours should be reflected separately in your Senior Project Hours log located on the right hand side of your blog).
So far, I have done 10.5 hours so far because I've had trouble finding a mentor until now.
4. Succinctly summarize what you did, how well you and your mentor worked together, and how you plan to complete the remaining hours.
I started my hours with Officer Yzaguirre. He told me about calls/cases that he's been on as a first responder. He had Officer Albert take me on a ride along so I can see up close what they do everyday as a first responder. Then I got to talk to a forensic specialist who gave me advice on research. My mentor and I work well together and I've known him for a while so I feel comfortable with him. I plan to complete the remaining hours with my other mentor, Terri. We haven't done any hours yet but we've planned them and she's offering forensic courses that I will definitely take.
