Hi, I'm Tonya!<\/h2>

Tonya\u2019s passion for science and storytelling began at a very young age.\n\nAfter receiving her B.S. in Biochemistry from the University of Maryland, Baltimore County, she became a research assistant for a kidney disease study at Johns Hopkins. It was during that time that she discovered medical illustration. She chose to pivot from her research interests and pursue medical illustration as a career. \n\nAs a first-year medical illustration student, Tonya has been greatly inspired by the field\u2019s potential to use art to represent diverse individuals in medicine-related media. So far, she has been drawn to projects that allow her to combine 2D and 3D media to tell compelling stories. \n\nBeyond illustrating scientific or medical topics, Tonya enjoys capturing the diversity of the human form through figure and portrait drawings. In her free time, Tonya can be found cooking, playing her Nintendo switch, or juggling her soccer ball. <\/p><\/div><\/div>\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t
