I've spent a lot of time reflecting on all of the things I've been able to do this year and what I'm most proud of. The pinnacle of these is photographing the Carina Nebula, the Magellanic Clouds and our galactic core from Vicuña, Chile this past July, as part of my #ACEAP journey.

I can't recall if I've mentioned it here but I'm super excited to be a part of this year's #ACEAP #AstroAmbassadors program at #AUI. This incredible short film by Fefo Bouvier (alum) shows what the program is all about. I can't wait to see everything in person! 🤩
