Lily K. Donaldson
I’m a Planetarian, Computer Science teacher and an advocate for STEM and Arts Education working to bridge educational gaps, especially among disadvantaged K-12 students.
As a technologist and educator that’s worked with people from all walks of life (from kindergartners in rural New Mexico to NASA scientists in New York City), I’ve developed excellent communication skills, technical aptitude, and the ability to empathetically support and empower people from highly diverse backgrounds in science and technology, and beyond.
