"I truly believe the Observatory is an important part of the city. It ignites the imaginations of children and adults alike and presents a grand perspective of life. I enjoy being a small part of that process and want to help in any way."

 

"I love space and history and love to share all of that knowledge—and I love the Cincinnati Observatory community so much."

 

"It’s a welcoming and diverse team. I learn something new every time and I love sharing one of my passions with the community"

 

"I absolutely love the Observatory! I love its story, I love learning and helping others learn and grow. My favorite thing though, is when I've got one of the scopes pointed at something amazing, perfect focus and someone comes up and looks in and says "Wow......" Even this reaction about the history or the telescopes or the place itself. I'm here for the "wow" factor :)"
