Sadeiah Matthews is a dedicated professional with a unique interdisciplinary background in laboratory sciences, criminal justice, and emergency medicine. She holds both bachelor's and master's degrees in criminal justice from West Chester University of Pennsylvania and is currently pursuing a bachelor's degree in medical laboratory science at Gwynedd Mercy University.

She is working on completing her laboratory clinical training across all disciplines essential to providing high-quality diagnostic medical testing. She has been gaining experience as pharmacy technician, which she hopes will strengthen her pharmaceutical knowledge in preparation for her graduate studies. Beyond her clinical training, she has developed a strong foundation in pathology and forensic science through experiences in a private toxicology laboratory, an internship with the county coroner’s office, and hands-on training here at the CFSRE as a forensic toxicology intern. Sadeiah’s long-term goal is to attend Thomas Jefferson University’s Forensic Toxicology master’s program and ultimately pursue a PhD in Toxicology and Pharmacology.
