About Me:

I graduated with a BS in biology and a minor in Immunology from Cal State Fullerton. For the last 18+ years I have been a Science Lab Tech at Cabrillo College, where I set up labs for the Microbiology, Physiology, and Anatomy courses. My true love is Microbiology and over the years I have done hundreds of environmental demonstration plates (handprints, show swabs, etc) for classes with one image in particular launching me into the world of Science Communication. In that time I have come to love the variety of textures and colors in the microbial world and even find joy in the occasional contaminated plate, usually fungal, and I use Photography as a way to share Microbiology both artistically and educationally .
