Earthbound Astronomer, United States of America
I am an amateur astronomer, science educator, dark sky warrior, wife, and mother to a future astronaut. I like my nights dark and my skies clear.
For the past ten years I’ve played an active role within the Austin Astronomical Society having held several positions on the Executive Board; including Outreach Chair and President. Currently I am the resident astronomer and an adult mentor for the Central Texas Girl Scout’s Astronomy Club. As a Public Advocacy Volunteer with the International Dark Sky Association I help to educate students, and the public, on the threats of light pollution and the importance of protecting our night skies.
In 2016 I founded Earthbound Astronomer, a platform of resources for amateur astronomers, teachers and science communicators. Through it I have had the pleasure of presenting to schools and groups, advocating for regional dark sky protocols, and revitalizing astronomy programs in several Texas state parks.
