She is currently a second-year graduate student in MFA Medical Illustration program at Rochester Institute of Technology, New York (‘25 May). She also holds a B.Sc in Biochemistry (Hons.) from the Chinese University of Hong Kong, with studio art practice. After getting her undergraduate degree, she continued to study 3D animation, and 2D cel animation under animation directors Cheng Sung-yan and Fung Hing-keung while working in a medical communications agency. She has been intrigued by nature, art and science since childhood, and continues to explore the possibilities of combining them.
At the moment, she is collaborating with the Department of Neurological Surgery at the University of Rochester Medical Center (URMC) as a graduate fellow. She was previously a junior medical illustrator summer intern in Singularity Science.
