ABOUT

What do you do when you have a passion for two different disciplines: art and science? That is the question Kim was faced with while earning her undergraduate degree and playing collegiate volleyball at Jacksonville State University. Though the status quo said pick one, Kimberly found another solution combining her passions: a career in medical illustration. She promptly transferred to Augusta University where she earned her Bachelor of Science in Biology, a Minor in Art, and a Master of Science in Medical Illustration.

The lifelong learner in Kim is constantly inspired to seek new ideas and strategies to implement as a medical illustrator. She is dedicated to honing her skills in 2D and 3D animation, problem-solving, and illustration to accomplish her goal to create impactful and innovative artistic solutions that give others the opportunity to succeed. Her patient education brochure highlighting pulmonary embolisms and the importance of Augusta University’s newly formed Pulmonary Embolism Response Team is currently used to improve patient understanding and experience, while her collaborative work on atrial fibrillation awareness materials educates the public and directs them to life-saving medical care.

Her research and the resulting project made in Adobe Aero not only provides physical therapy students with a new and engaging learning tool but also pushes the use of augmented reality for higher education. 

Kim looks forward to continuing to use her unique opportunity to make a difference and is anxious to fulfill her purpose.
