What happens when a forensic professional shifts from “this is how we’ve always done it” to “how can we grow from this”? In this episode of Forensics Unfiltered, we sit down with Nakia Porter—Supervising Forensic Identification Specialist with the Los Angeles County Sheriff’s Department—to explore the power of a growth mindset for forensic supervisors.

Nakia shares real stories from her own leadership journey, including how she embraced feedback, created a culture of collaboration, and transformed team performance. We dive into the difference between fixed and growth mindsets, common pitfalls forensic supervisors face, and five steps to start cultivating a stronger, more resilient forensic unit—starting today.
