Science Moves.™ So do I. *
A movement for educators, explorers, and worldchangers
What if a shoebox, a few cockroach eggs, and a curious child could spark a lifelong journey into science?
In this TEDx talk, I share how my story began—with a question no one would answer, and a belief that science wasn’t meant for someone like me. But I’ve learned:
No one gets to define my story—I do.
From the South Bronx to research expeditions, and now, hopefully, toward a space research mission this journey is mine. It’s powered by the same unstoppable curiosity that sparked it all.
Watch below to see how curiosity became my superpower.
