Hello, and thank you for visiting my website!

I am an enthusiastic life-long learner with nearly 8 years of experience creating instructional scientific illustrations and animations for enriched online learning experiences in higher education. My work is informed by data-driven design and intentional storytelling. I simplify complex topics and find creative solutions using critical thinking, empathy and a collaborative spirit.

Whether I am managing multiple projects in my full-time role, contributing to the strategic direction of a 700+ member professional association as an elected official, or mentoring junior colleagues - you’ll find me exemplifying the same core characteristics. 

These characteristics include an inquisitive mind that seeks to understand, a discerning eye for identifying and presenting possible solutions for unmet needs, a commitment to quality, and a proven track record of investing in the growth and wellbeing of those around me.

If you’re looking for an experienced creative with a propensity for leadership, I’d love to connect with you!

Four Fun Facts:

• I’m mildly obsessed with drawing flowers. I think that their forms and the negative shapes between their petals and leaves are pure poetry. For me, capturing the curve or bend of a petal can be as exciting as dropping a dollop of ice cream atop a warm cookie.

• The library is one of my favorite places to be. As a child, I wished I could stay overnight and have the place all to myself! As an adult, I am still in awe of the fact that I can learn almost anything with a well-chosen book.

• Reading Rainbow is still my favorite television series. I enjoy it with a cup of tea and my latest knitting project.

• I believe that education can improve quality of life and I love to see people thrive. My first semester GPA as a first-year college-student was below 3.0. By Sophomore year, I was counseled to get well above 3.0 or drop my biology major. I was already working hard, and I didn’t know what else I was missing.
  
  As a first-generation Nigerian immigrant, dropping my major was not an acceptable option to me. My parents had sacrificed too much. The difficult and transformative journey that I took, to achieve Dean’s list before ultimately peaking at 3.8, became the catalyst for my love for teaching and helping others learn.
