My life has always been a balancing act between the love of science and the love of art. These fields have always been arbitrarily separated, but in reality they are interconnected and enhance each other. It seemed like an impossible feat until I heard about scientific illustration from my high school art teacher. It led me down my collegiate path, majoring in Biology and minoring in both film and art. I always joked I was the coolest looking one in my science classes and the only one in my art class that knew the sodium-potassium pump process by heart.
I am now the head graphic artist at Emerging Creatives of Science as well as a freelancer. I am looking forward to what the future holds for my career in the sciences and arts field.
