She discovered her passion for Biology from Ms. Kelly O’Hare, a teacher she describes as being ‘very organized’. Vanessa also found joy in Ms. Laurie Kirk’s art class. Vanessa foresees combining her dual passions for art and biology in helping to create Biomedical Animation videos for the benefit of mankind.Learn more about Vanessa.
