About Me
I completed my Ph.D. in Molecular Biology from the University of Toronto and the Hospital for Sick Children. I’ve spent my career dedicated to creating impactful content for presentations and publications across science, medicine, and healthcare. Throughout my work, I’ve combined my scientific background with artistic storytelling to make complex scientific concepts more accessible and engaging.
My expertise lies in creating detailed medical illustrations and scientific visuals that help communicate intricate biological processes clearly. By blending precise, accurate depictions with creative design, I aim to make challenging subjects easier to understand for both experts and a wider audience.
I also hold a Biomedical Visualization and Communication Certificate from the University of British Columbia, further enhancing my ability to transform complicated biomedical concepts into compelling visuals. Whether working on educational materials, research publications, or project visuals, I’m dedicated to helping audiences—from researchers to curious learners—better connect with science and medicine.
​
My goal is to reshape how we engage with scientific and medical information, using the power of visual communication to bridge the gap between discovery and understanding.
