✨I am still feeling over the moon..🤩✨

I had the immense privilege of presenting at the Space Port Area Conference for Educators (SPACE) this week on Empowering Students in STEM: Building Space Vocabulary K-5 using LEGO Education and hands-on inquiry based instruction 🚀✨

Attending educators not only participated in top-notch PD, but we were also immersed in the operations of Kennedy Space Center - including keynote sessions with astronauts and other space icons, as well as behind the scene tours of Space Port Operations! ✨ I couldn’t stop smiling! My boys even came up, and we watched a morning launch together less than 7 miles away 🚀

Many thanks to The Astronauts Memorial Foundation for the privilege of being inspired by other STEM professionals and educational sessions, networking with other passionate educators, immersing ourselves in the world of space innovation, and concluding with the incredible Galactic Gala! 👏✨

To all of the STEM advocates and educators out there…look out for next year’s registration! 🌟👩‍🚀🛰️

🚀🐾 Charlie is going to the MOON! 🌖✨

My talented friend @caeleystems has done it again! Her new children’s book, Charlie’s Space Adventures: Mission to the Moon, is inspired by her real-life pup, Charlie! My pup KJ and 5 yo last night said it is a 10/10 🐶🌙

I LOVE Charlie’s curiosity and adventurous spirit! He reminds me of my favorite part of teaching..asking and answering endless questions and never stop wondering what’s possible. ✨

Caeley continually does incredible things to inspire the next generation of explorers! And I’m here for it all! 👏👏

To all my elementary educator friends, parents, and space enthusiasts, get your hands on this book 📚🚀

Come fly with me to #WrightWeekend! ✈️ ✨

Wright of Passage IMAX screening at Challenger Learning Center + aviation outreach at Million Air FBO

An unforgettable weekend of aviation, inspiration, and exactly the kind of access to STEM opportunities needed ✨

THIS FILM 🙌✈️✨

Wright of Passage follows Lee as he carries his father’s legacy forward, piloting the Spirit of Science on a solo flight halfway across the world and using aviation as a force for positive change 🌎✨

It’s a story about grief, purpose, community, adventure, and moving forward while carrying those we’ve lost 🤍 The focus on STEM education and creating opportunities for those who might otherwise never have access is beautiful to see, while the exploration of loss and legacy makes it even more powerful. Having recently lost a parent myself, this film helped to navigate some of my own grief and showed how to always look up and keep moving forward ✈️✨

So incredibly deserving of its Telly recognition and then some!! 👏🏆✨ Honored to support this film…It NEEDS to be seen!!✨

Incredibly proud of you @astrodirector, and everything it took to bring it to life 🤍✨

✨✨ Wright of Passage streams December 3rd! ✨✨

#PASSAGE by @jilljohnsonstem

With the August 12 solar eclipse around the corner, I’ve been thinking back to the last eclipse that moved across North America and just how exciting it was to see so many turn a once-in-a-lifetime event into a chance to learn ✨

There is nothing like giving students the opportunity to explore science through hands-on experiences. Using #LEGOEducation coding kits, they were able to model and investigate how solar eclipses happen, ask questions, and discover the “why” behind what they were seeing.

This was such an incredible project to be a part of, and I’m grateful our local Telemundo news station wanted to share it.

Here’s to staying curious and always keep looking up 🌘✨

Obsessed with the Moon. My camera roll is cov red in it.

The Moon has watched every chapter of humanity and still invites us to return the gaze 🌕✨

Wonder is an act of hope.✨

This video is more than an application. It’s a reminder to keep saying yes to curiosity, adventure, and the dreams that feel just out of reach.

If my story inspires even one person to dream a little bigger, it’s already worth it.✨

Halfway through 2026… 🤍

2025 brought heavy loss, heartbreak, and change.
All at once.

My life was no longer the same.

This year has brought healing, purpose, and countless reminders of how incredible it is. ✨

My life was no longer the same.

I am rebuilding. 🏡
Rewilding.

Grief didn’t make me love life less.
It made me realize how deeply I want to live it. 🤍✨

Here’s to whatever the second half of 2026 has in store.

The best chapters are here right now. ✨

Our Andover Protostars were named finalists in the international Project Hail Mary Challenge hosted by @spaceforteachers 🚀✨

While we weren’t selected for a parabolic flight, I’m incredibly proud of what these students accomplished. Over the past several months, our crew tackled artificial gravity, engineering design, testing, data analysis, CAD modeling, and mission planning with curiosity, creativity, and so much determination.

This project was made possible through the support of high school mentors, engineers from Boeing and Blue Origin, and funding from our amazing PTA. Together, they helped show our students that even the biggest challenges become possible when you work as a true crew.

Most importantly, these students proved that elementary students can do big things when given the opportunity. 💫
