Shay finds time to provide Facial Prosthetics to patients in need in the Tampa Bay area. Her most recent 3D animations, which are on display at various museums around the world and created with Fovia’s software, help scientists visualize and better understand mummies and their artifacts. In animations and teaching she specializes in visually communicating complex medical processes, anatomical pathologies, and neural communication pathways.
Her current area of research in medical imaging is 3D Printing because she enjoys finding the endless connections between 3D imaging and prosthetics. She resides in the greater Tampa Bay area and when she isn’t working in Medical Imaging or Anaplastology, she spends her time wandering around the nearby AT trail with her dogs, co-facilitating a Siblings of the Mentally ill group for NAMI and working in disaster recovery when time allows.
