Roshenka Naidoo

I am a passionate, well-rounded, and quality focused graduate with excellent skills gained through hands-on experience during my studies. My postgraduate in Forensic Sciences, in conjunction with my undergraduate background in Anatomy, has provided me with unique experiences and skill sets.

I have been able to attend court cases, interact with biological samples, assisted with the secondary identification of human decedents, viewed over 50 autopsy sessions with trained pathologists and attend numerous workshops and demonstrations regarding multiple analytical tools and equipment.
