    My time as a Board of Trustee for the Orlando Science Center has come to an end. It was a wonderful six years and I’m proud to have been a small part in what was some truly remarkable achievements during that time.I’m grateful for OSC entrusting me to host some of their prominent events like the Gala and Inspire Science Breakfast, as well as being a human canvas for Mess Fest.I met many wonderful people on the board and in the community during my time there. OSC is truly one of the great nonprofits in Central Florida, helping to further STEM education and learning for all, and the best is still to come.

    I wanted to share with you the story I did on Cristina Vite's family going through Hurricane Andrew 30 years ago. I'm sure many of you remember Andrew, and some of you went through it just like her family.The aftermath video is dramatic, and there are lessons to be learned even today.I thank Cristina for telling her story, sharing her family's personal video, and the team that helped put together a piece I'm proud to share with you.

    As a Board of Trustee of OSC, I know firsthand how fantastic the leadership of the science center is.Thank you Dr. Phillips Charities for recognizing that, the positive impact OSC brings to our community, and helping such a worthy organization through these challenging times.

    Today I wear pink in honor of my mother-in-law who is a breast cancer survivor, for the many women I have met who have fought this battle, and those who are fighting it today.I am humbled by your strength and your courage.

    Just over a year ago, I had the pleasure of covering the first Falcon Heavy launch.On Friday, I'll be back at the KSC Press Site doing a preview of the first Crew Dragon test flight scheduled for early Saturday morning, with more fantastic models to show our viewers.
