Summary

I am a student currently pursuing a Master’s in Medical Visualization and Human Anatomy at the Glasgow School of Art and University of Glasgow. I graduated Magna Cum Laude from Lehman College’s Macaulay Honors Program, where I earned a B.S. in Biology with a minor in Computer Graphics and Imaging. I am passionate about using 3D visualization, animation, and medical illustration to communicate complex biological processes and scientific research in ways that are clear, engaging, and accessible.

My experience includes melanoma research at Montefiore Einstein Cancer Center, where I applied fluorescence imaging, molecular biology techniques, and scientific figure design using BioRender to help communicate research findings. Beyond research, I am committed to mentorship and community engagement, supporting students as they navigate academic and professional pathways in STEM.

I aim to bridge science and visual communication by using medical illustration and research visualization to make complex scientific concepts more accessible in healthcare, education, research, and my community.
