ABOUT OUR Graduate Program Students

Amy DIXON

Amy was born and raised in central Iowa, just outside of Des Moines. She received her BA from Iowa State University, where she studied Biological and Pre-medical Illustration. Thanks to the support of her parents and a couple of key role models, her affinity for art became a career path that eventually led her to Johns Hopkins. When she isn't noodling away on a project, she likes to ride her bike, play table tennis, and embark on adventures.

"Each member of the faculty in this department has something unique and awe-inspiring to bring to the table. It's a great honor to be working under them.
