As the publisher of TheMakerMom.com and STEMKidsChicago.com, I help parents raise STEM-loving, Maker-friendly kids. A Chicago-area mom of teen boys (a coding whiz and budding roboticist), I'm also a long-time blogger, vlogger, freelance writer, brand ambassador, digital correspondent, and social media strategist. I’m a former Science Olympiad and a VEX Robotics coach, and founder of the popular monthly(ish) Twitter discussion, #STEMchat.
