Hello! I am an ISS Space Station Ambassador partnered with the ISS U.S. National Laboratory.

In 2005, Congress designated the U.S. modules of the ISS as a National Laboratory. This act allowed non-NASA research to be carried out on the ISS by universities and corporations

As an ISS Space Station Ambassador, I host free educational events about the ISS in my local area of Gwinnett County, Georgia.

The typical event I host is called “Story Time From Space”. For the first few minutes, I explain what the ISS is and why the research on board is important. This is followed by a video of an actual astronaut on the ISS reading a children’s story about space or science. To wrap things up, the children participate in an activity or art project.

If you are in Gwinnett County, GA, please consider having me visit for your Space Day or STEM festival.

Thank you!
