About Me.

I’m a medical animator/illustrator-in-training with a multidisciplinary skillset, including 3D animation, illustration, and interactive design, along with a strong interest in science and a passion for communicating complex ideas through visual media.

During my four years of undergraduate studies in the health sciences at McMaster University, I explored various biomedical topics in my courses and thesis work, with a particular emphasis on immunology, biochemistry and cell biology. Visual aids played a crucial role in enhancing my understanding of complex scientific concepts, and this experience deepened my appreciation for the contributions of medical illustrators and science communicators. I am also grateful to have studied under professors and mentors who fostered creativity in my learning, encouraging the use of visual abstracts and scientific posters to convey intricate ideas.

Upon graduating in 2024, my deep-rooted passion for the visual arts, combined with a strong interest in the biological sciences, pushed me to pursue an MSc in Biomedical Communications. I am excited to further explore how the incorporation of visual storytelling in science communication can create impactful solutions and contribute to meaningful advancements in the field.
