Hi I’m Emily. I’m an engineer, mom and wife. I’m passionate about encouraging kids to love STEAM. My favorite page on the blog is STEAM for Kids featuring easy and fun STEAM experiments and activities we have tested and approve for you to try at home with your kids.

I have a BS in chemical engineering. I worked my college summer internships at a national laboratory. After college graduation I worked briefly in the semiconductor industry, and then I found a job in the energy industry. I worked in the energy industry for almost 10 years, working for several different companies along the way. I’ve worked in small towns, big cities, and as an expat in Australia. 

My husband is my best friend, my former co-worker, and an all around great guy. I’ve worked every professional engineering job I’ve ever had with him. We found ways to keep work and our personal lives separate, and we liked eating lunch together everyday when we worked together.

I am currently on a career break to be a stay-at-home mom to my three children – my oldest son and daughter are in elementary school and I have a toddler daughter at home with me. Being a mom of three young children is challenging, but I’m constantly learning from them and they bring me so much joy.

My interest and hobbies include exercise (I make time to work out every day), reading, gardening, building LEGO flowers, and traveling.
