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, from soil to zero gravity, 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.
My Origin Story
Scientist, Educator, Analog Astronaut, Activist, Public Speaker, Leadership, Mentoring, and More!
I’m honored to have been selected for Space for Humanity’s 2026 Future Voices of Space Zero-G Mentorship Program. From the invisible life beneath our feet to microgravity and space biology, I believe science is something we can all explore and participate in.
From soil to the stars, there are worlds everywhere if we’re curious enough to look.
More to come, My Fellow World Changers. ❤️

The Explorers Club 50: Fifty People Changing the World that the World Needs to Know About
I am honored to be named to the 2024 class of The Explorers Club 50: Fifty People Changing the World that the World Needs to Know About. Each year, the EC50 recognizes fifty extraordinary people doing remarkable work to promote science and exploration but who remain under the radar and out of the limelight. My fellow honorees are exploring, inspiring, and creating the future- the future of the planet, life upon it, and the boundless possibilities that await us all. I am so excited to be part of this visionary community.
