KHS class of 2021 alum Carolina Da Fonseca Guedes spoke to Mr. Vegaās Forensics Lab Honors students about several topics including the opportunities they have to become involved in academic research when they get to college, the need for more women in STEM fields, college life in general, and how she used the opportunities she had as a student at KHS to get to where she is today.
