What people are saying
About me
Graduating in 2018 from McGill University with a BSc. in Biochemistry (Honours, too), I jetted off to Cairo, Egypt to teach science to high schoolers. The two years I spent teaching were enlightening and I learned a lot about myself. Mainly that I loved to teach and I didn’t want to be in a classroom. I love to share my passion for science and I’m happy to say that my students were excited to come to class but as soon as I discovered I could combine all my passions, science, education, and design, into one thrilling career – biomedical communication and visualization – I quickly shifted gears.
