Evelyn Lockhart is a pathologist and transfusion medicine physician currently completing her Master of Science in Biomedical Communication (MScBMC) at the University of Toronto. Evelyn earned her MD in 2001 from the University of North Carolina at Chapel Hill. Previously, she was the medical director of the Carolinas Region American Red Cross, associate medical director of transfusion at Duke University Hospital, and medical director of transfusion at the University of New Mexico Hospital. She is currently a Clinical Associate Professor of Pathology at the University of New Mexico Health Science Center. evelynlockhart.com

I studied at the University of Toronto, where I majored in biology and psychology and took a special interest in animal diversity and evolution. During that time, I reconstructed the ancient invertebrate Amiskwia sagittiformis, a task that finally allowed me to combine my two great passions, art and biology. Seeing how much I enjoyed the project, my supervisor introduced me to the BMC program, and I knew immediately it was the program for me. I look forward to learning from my inspiring peers and teachers so I can better participate in a field that is my childhood dream come true.

Graduating year: 2T1

My name is Katrina Hass and I’m a first year BMC student. I’m from a small mining town in Northern Ontario where the population is less than the population of U of T. As an undergraduate student, I studied Health Sciences at McMaster University. I would often seek out projects that allowed me to use my passion for art. I realized throughout my studies that I loved using art as a medium to promote an understanding of the sciences. I am thrilled to be able to fulfill my dream of becoming a medical illustrator and to be surrounded by such inspiring faculty and classmates. Instagram: artby.katrina

JENNIFER BAROLET Graduating year: 2T1

My interest in illustration and graphic design started at an early age. I always had a passion for art, however an interest in chemistry and mathematics led me to study engineering at the University of Toronto. Most recently I have combined my career experience in science and technology with formal fine art academic training at the Academy of Realist Art in Toronto to successfully produce precise, detailed and accurate realistic visual art. Complimenting this with the graphic design and illustration skills learned at OCAD U reinforced my desire to explore avenues to design and develop visual media to advance the learning experience for those interested in science.
