ABOUT OUR Graduate Program Students

Bona worked as a nurse in Korea, but took on a new challenge when she came to Baltimore to study Medical Illustration at Johns Hopkins. She likes unique adventures and opportunities to seeing different places. Bona has a world map at home where she keeps track of the places she has visited - one of her lifetime goals is to fill up the rest of the map!. Bona says, "You will see a traveling medical illustrator soon." But for now, she is in North America!

"I am happy to be here at Hopkins although the anatomy class is torturing me!"
