  • Inspiring and realistic

    I recently started a new path in workforce development, education and training for my state. Part of my commitments involve speaking and presenting to K-12 about STEM, particularly drones, transportation and advanced aviation. I find Claire and Natasha’s insights and tips help generate ideas and practical expectations; especially for when I’m a new guest in a school classroom for a couple of hours and the kids are looking to learn from interactive activities.
