Bio

I was born in Boston, MA to Caribbean parents. My family is from the small island of Montserrat. After several years in Boston, we moved to Billerica, where I spent my formative years.

 

I have been drawing for as long as I can remember. My interest in science and art intensified in high school. During a college and career fair I was exposed to medical illustration, which was a perfect combination of my main interests.

​

In college, I pursued a Medical Illustration degree at the Cleveland Institute of Art, combined with course work at Case Western Reserve University Medical School and internships at The Cleveland Clinic. After completing my BFA in 2005, I returned to New England.

​

For over a decade I worked at Lahey Clinic Hospital and Medical Center as a digital media technician and as a manager.

 

After working in that clinical setting for many years, I entered an inaugural role as Medical Illustrator and Visual Design Specialist for the Division of Biology and Medicine at Brown University, including the Warren Alpert Medical School. There, I provided scientific illustrations for biomedical faculty and staff, consulted on grant proposals, and co-taught a medical comics workshop.

​

I am currently a Biomedical illustrator at Geisel School of Medicine at Dartmouth College. Similar to my previous role, I provide medical illustration and biomedical graphics for faculty and staff, and serve as a visual consultant. I continue to co-teach the medical comics workshop there, and have collaborated on a medical comics website: sodapophospital.com.
