It all started when…
I was working in molecular biology and public health when I was hired for NASA's Chandra X-ray Observatory in 1998. Since I always wanted to be an astronaut when I was little, this opportunity got me close to the cosmos but without the long distance commute. Today, I use data to tell stories about science, whether in the form of a 3D print of a supernova remnant, a Virtual Reality application in high-energy astrophysics, or a data sonification of the stars.
Science storytelling
The story continues…
I enjoy connecting with different groups, from small classes of elementary students to large conferences with aerospace industry professionals. I have had the pleasure of being invited to speak at the U.S. Library of Congress, Jet Propulsion Laboratory, United Nations (Space for Women), U.S. Congress (Science on the Hill), Blue Origin, Intrepid Museum, Brown University, Boston Museum of Science, Franklin Institute, StarTalk Radio, TEDx, SXSW, and many others for my day job. Whether I’m discussing space, light, data visualization or women in STEM, I greatly appreciate being able to interact with diverse audiences as part of my career.
