After a brief stop to dump bags in the hotel room my first Keystone stop was the Tomato Pie Cafe with Roberta, Kacey, and Samantha. The place was wonderful! We had two waiters that weren't ours come over and tell us how fabulous we were. The food was so good that Roberta, Samantha, and I would end up hitting the place again on our way out of town a few days later.

A pic from my second day enjoying the wonderful island of Guam. I purposely took a road past my original intended destination to see what was there and found myself at this fantastic beach. I bet if there hadn't been a nearby power-plant this place would be one of the top attractions on the island, but it seemed to be a mostly undiscovered place (at least for tourists).

Don't look into the light...noooooo!

Oh, I guess that wasn't so bad. I still seem to be here and still seem to be sparkly.

First time I've gone to a fancy night out in an outfit like this. I've never done sequins either, but Peg got me the blouse for Valentine's Day and it was a real winner.

If being a year behind on elctrolysis is the worst thing that happens to my body from this pandemic, I'll count myself incredibly lucky.

Thanks to all the scientific, medical, and logistical heroism that made this possible in just a year!

(By now I've got both shots!)

What a fantastic experience speaking at AIAA SciTech! I joined the amazing Claudine Phaire, Melissa Sampson, and Audrey Powers to talk about leadership, the power of authenticity, building a sustainable career, and facing down the monster of imposter syndrome. It was an honor to share the stage and learn alongside them.

It was also a great day spent meeting with AIAA's diversity scholars!
