In high school, visual art was my passion – I had a natural affinity and talent for it. At the University of Toronto, I chose to study my other love, life sciences, majoring in immunology and biochemistry. Years later, when I found the MScBMC program, I was elated at the idea of a career path that combined my love of art and science. I recall using biological drawings, sketches, and visual aids in my upper year studies and can say categorically that it coincided with a deeper appreciation and understanding of these intense subjects. I want to work directly with immunology researchers as a medical illustrator, to bring their discoveries to life in animations and artworks. I would be the visual bridge between scientists and wider audiences, making microscopic concepts easy to grasp. I hope to one day inspire new students to pursue the field of immunology in the same way it captivated me.
