“I am an artist at heart,” says Jesse, a pathologists’ assistant at Chesapeake Regional Medical Center. Described by nominators as a leader and proud advocate of her specialty, Jesse’s background as an art illustrator has helped her play an instrumental role in the development of the illustrations for the American Association of Pathologists’ Assistants Grossing Guidelines. “My passion is creating artistry of patients’ disease processes through the art of grossing, painting an accurate histologic picture for the pathologist. My canvas is a 3.0 x 2.5 x 0.4 cm cassette and my media are tissue ink and finely trimmed tissue!”
