Welcome to Lab Coats & Life Lessons

Hey, I’m Madie—welcome to my blog! If you know me, you know I’ve got a million things on my mind at any given time, so I figured… why not put some of it into words?

Lab Coats & Life Lessons is exactly what it sounds like—a mix of forensic science, community service, and the unpredictable chaos of life. Forensics has been a passion of mine for as long as I can remember, and I’ve spent years learning about it, both inside and outside the classroom. But my life isn’t just about science. I’ve also spent a lot of time working in community service, trying to help others while figuring things out for myself along the way.

So, instead of picking just one thing to focus on, I decided this blog is going to be a little bit of everything:
🔬 Forensic science – The cool, the creepy, and the things that make you say, “Wait… what?!”
💙 Community service – What I’ve learned from working with nonprofits and giving back.
📖 Life experiences – The highs, the lows, and everything in between.

I don’t have all the answers, but I do have stories, thoughts, and maybe even a few lessons worth sharing. So, if you're here for the science, the real-life moments, or just to see where this goes—stick around. Let’s see where this journey takes us.

Stay curious,
Madie
