Hi! I’m Kylie Blackwell, a graduate student in the Forensic Molecular Biology M.F.S. program at GW. I’m originally from Charlotte, North Carolina, but after five years in D.C., I proudly call it home.

I earned my B.S. in Biology and Biological Anthropology at GW, and my favorite moment was graduating on the National Mall in front of the Washington Monument! I chose GW for graduate school because it’s home to one of the oldest and most respected forensic science programs in the country. The faculty’s strong connections with law enforcement and research institutions give students incredible hands-on experience.

As a Graduate Student Ambassador, I hope to share my passion for GW and get prospective students as excited as I am about our program—and all the amazing things to do in D.C.!
