Happy International Women's Day! I honor the women uplifting the next generation through mentorship, education, and advocacy. I am grateful to be part of this mission. Watch the video below to learn about some of my community work. #WomenWhoInspire instagram.com/reel/DG5zobKxs…

Reunited with some of my @AEF_Program colleagues. Although we live in different states, it felt like old times —celebrating successes, sharing wisdom, & looking toward the future. I can't believe it has been 5 years. Nice to meet @mathillustrated! #einsteinfellows20 #DSEK12

Hello from Texas! Excited to present Data-Driven Robotic Art at the inaugural Data Science Education Conference. This is one of many K-12 activities developed for teachers and students through our National AI Research Institute. 🎨🤖 📈 #STEMOutreach #DSEK12

Thank you, 2024. I can't wait to see what 2025 has in store. Happy New Year! Love y'all ✨️ #2024recap #happynewyear #endofyear #lessonslearned #GodHasSmiledOnMe

@MNTOY2019 You were incredible! I'm so proud of you. ❤️

Literally walking in the footsteps of those before me who made it all possible. It was an honor of my lifetime to represent educators, the state of MN, and our country. #HarrietTubman #StaceyAbrams #RubyBridges #chucksandpearls #USA 🇺🇸 #DNCConvention2024

@deionjamison Have a great year! Seniors are not so bad. 😆

I always said I would never teach two grades: kinder and 12th… I begin my day tomorrow teaching seniors 😂

@AEF_Program Congratulations, Joel!!!!

Proud of #Einsteinalumni Joel Truesdell, '24 National Teachers Hall of Fame Award Winner. A dedicated educator for 35 yrs from HI who taught chemistry and indigenous culture. He joins his Fellow alumni Sergio deAlba, June Teisan, and Deborah Cornelison. lnkd.in/eqTcYzbW

@cjbj9612 Congratulations

I am excited to announce that I am a finalist for the Fulbright Distinguished Awards in Teaching Research Program! India, here I come!!!

We commemorate Juneteenth today! #OnThisDay in 1865, over 250,000 formerly enslaved African Americans in Galveston Bay, Texas, were freed when US Army troops arrived two years after the Emancipation Proclamation to enforce their freedom. 1/2

@JoelleLastica Hello friend! I'm slowly making my way back. All is well. Let's connect soon.

@TheRealChandaJ Great to see you! Hope you’re well, my friend!

Happy Juneteenth! We've come a mighty long way, but there is still work to be done. Honoring those who endured the struggle in the past and those who are still fighting today! Love y'all ❤️💚🖤

Proud to be a NASA Partner Eclipse Ambassador alongside Amehja Williams, ESE student at Penn Engineering! With amazing volunteers, we hosted a Pre-Eclipse Fair for Philly students & gave away free eclipse viewers. #EclipseAmbassadors #STEM #CommunityEngagement

Alexa, play "We Are the Champions" 🎶

We're having a #ThrowbackThursday on #PiDay and #Einsteins birthday, of course! Check out these fantastic alumni sporting their #photoswithalbert #Einsteinfellows23

On #WorldTeenMentalWellnessDay, let’s remember that self-care is important. One in five teens suffers from at least one mental health disorder. As the co-chair of the @bmhsudtf, you can count on me to stand up and support our kids in crisis.

Celebrating all the women and girls who love science and STEM just like me. Sending love to you today! Happy International Day of Women and Girls in Science! These are photos from a few of my favorite moments researching, teaching, and learning science. #WomenInSTEM

Disrupting the Status Quo in #STEM ! We love an #EinsteinFellows reunion at the Hawaii International Conference on Education with alumni and current Fellows @TheRealChandaJ @AshleyCKearney Joel Truesdell, @ProfShakB, @PascaleCreek @MPStewart13 #EinsteinFellows23

"Family isn’t always blood, it’s the people in your life who want you in theirs: the ones who accept you for who you are, the ones who would do anything to see you smile and who love you no matter what.” #MayaAngelou

Happy National STE(A)M Day! Growing up, the church mothers at my family church (St. Phillip) wore the most beautiful hats, and I thought of them as I made this robotic hat. Activities like this teach students foundational coding and robotics. Have a great day y'all! 🤖 🦠🔬🧬

Full #STEAM ahead! 🧪📐⚙️🚀 Today, we celebrate the importance of science, technology, engineering, arts, & math at all education levels. Thank you to the talented educators & students working together to create our next generation of STEAM specialists! 👩‍🔬👩‍🏭👩‍🚀👷👩‍🏭 #STEAMDay
