This weekend I told someone that I was so impressed by Space Mountain on my first trip to @waltdisneyworld at age 26 that if I didn’t work for NASA I’d be working for Disney. Can confirm, still true at age 28. #princessatheart 🤣👸🏽 . . . #princess #houstonblogger #dreambigprincess #disneyworld #waltdisneyworld #disneyprincess #disneyprincesshalfmarathonweekend #ilooklikeanengineer #womeninstem #womeninengineering #engineering #epcot #epcotfestivalofthearts

Pixie dust 🧚🏽‍♀️, princesses 👑 , and perfect weather for a @waltdisneyworld Disney Princess Half Marathon 🏰 to check Florida off the list of states to run. 🏃🏽‍♀️🏃🏽‍♀️🏃🏽‍♀️ It was a fun one and although I didn’t chase a PR today, I can’t be disappointed about a 1:47:07 after getting injured and being unable to run double digits since January 4!! That put me at finishing 130 out of 17,518 women and 23rd in my division! 💪🏽 . . . #houstonblogger #rundisney #dreambigprincess #ilooklikeanengineer #runnersofinstagram #marathontraining #running #halfmarathon #fitfam #fitchick #disney #disneyworld #disneyprincesshalfmarathon #disneyprincess

⭐️𝗚𝗜𝗩𝗘𝗔𝗪𝗔𝗬!⭐️ A few months ago I wrote a blog post (link in bio in case you missed it!) highlighting the many impossible expectations we’re often faced with as women.

With all the new faces/friends around here lately I figured it was about time to send a virtual “hello!” and introduce myself. • I’m a 28 year old mechanical and aerospace engineer working in Aircraft Operations at NASA’s Johnson Space Center (@nasajohnson). I was born and raised in North Dakota and scored my dream job through a college internship. Although my newest job responsibilities include flying as aircrew on our Gulfstream aircraft, my ultimate dream is to become an astronaut one day (Who else is applying real soon?! 🙋🏽‍♀️). 👩🏼‍🚀 I am passionate about creating a support system for women and girls to thrive in STEM fields and to showcase that there is room for everyone to have a fulfilling career in STEM. • I am also a fitness junkie who loves to lift weights and run. Last summer I crushed my goal of qualifying for the Boston Marathon (@bostonmarathon) and am healing an injury so I can run Boston in April! 🏃🏽‍♀️ • I’m a full fledged #Maxxinista (hey @tjmaxx 🙋🏽‍♀️) and deal finding “magician” who has a knack for knowing when and where to find the best deals on just about anything but specifically designer clothes and high end makeup. 💁🏽‍♀️ • Introduce yourself in the comments below! I look forward to getting to know you better and to continue fostering a space where we can connect and support eachother. You can find out more about me on my blog at www.KatelynGunderson.com as well!

Flew my first flights today as aircrew on NASA2, @nasajohnson’s GIII aircraft. We are collecting science data to measure snow water equivalent over Colorado, California, and Nevada. I have to admit, it’s been a long day but I had so. much. fun. talking over the headset and being a part of this mission today, operating the equipment and helping collect data. You can learn more about the SnowEx mission by searching the web for ‘SnowEx NASA’. The mission will run through May, so there are more data collection flights to come! 🛩🛩🛩 Photo 1: Reno-Tahoe International Airport Photo 2: Lines from today’s second flight Photo 3: Flying over snowy Lubbock, TX in transit Photo 4: Grand Junction Regional Airport Photo 5: Somewhere over central California Photo 6: Final approach into Reno . . . #houstonblogger #nasa #womeninstem #ilooklikeanengineer #engineering #womeninaviation #aviation #womeninengineering #engineeringgals #aerospaceengineering #aerospace
