Acknowledgements

I wanted to give a special thanks to everyone who helped me throughout my dissertation journey. This project was over the course of 3 long months and had a lot of challenges. Without these individuals this resource and its assets would not have been possible.

​

I want to thank Dr. Caroline Erolin, my dissertation supervisor and program lead, who guided me through every step of the process. From brainstorming to the final touches, Dr. Erolin offered direction and provided excellent feedback. This allowed me to push my artwork and content to be the best it could be. She is such an impactful leader in my medical art studies and has assisted me in growing my skillset and creativity in the field.

​

Thank you to all of the participants who offered their time engaging with my resource. This resource is meant to be used and learned from, so it is very valuable to know people have been able to use it for its purpose.

​

In addition, I want to thank my mom and dad who were my support system throughout my time here at the University of Dundee. They offered a cheering voice, alongside the occasional proof-reading, that kept me going with confidence and enthusiasm. I am immensely grateful for the sacrifices they have made to help me reach my full potential and live out my goals.

​

I want to thank my friends in the program who helped me find balance between work and my personal life. I value all of the time we spent doing work together that really motivated me to work hard at every step of the process. I cherish all of the moments we spent outside of work that offered a reset to my week. I also am grateful for my friends back at home who offered their encouragement from all the way back in the states.

 

I am thankful to be surrounded by such a strong support system that helped push myself to create the best outcome possible. A final thank you to everyone who helped guide me in smaller ways towards success. I am grateful for all of your support.
