    Partner with AstroAthens

    Astronomer

    Athena's mission with Astroathens is to make science accessible and engaging for everyone—not just those naturally inclined toward scientific content, careers, or readings. She aims to inspire a broader audience to embrace scientific thinking, believing that when more people apply a scientific perspective to their everyday lives, it can lead to transformative change in the world around us.

    TV Host

    Athena has worked on shows currently airing on PBS NOVA, the Science Channel, and Curiosity Stream. Exploring the wonders of the universe through entertainment is only the start to a lifelong mission of bringing astronomy to everyone.

    Fashion Model

    After spending 10+ years as an international model, signed to agencies worldwide like Wilhelmina, NY, Athena bridges the gap between art & science showing that anyone can be whatever they want to be even if that means being an astronomer & fashion model!
