Andy De Fonseca

Andy de Fonseca is a geek. She has always been this way, despite numerous attempts throughout childhood to curb her love of anime, video games, dragons, and the unholy songs of science. She also likes Cheez-Its.

She currently resides in Chicago, IL with her husband Myles, daughter Zoë, and tiny dog Sir Digby Chicken Caesar. Lover of science and exploration, she is an aerospace engineering student at IIT, heads the Chicago branch of The Planetary Society, and volunteers at the Adler Planetarium, where she not only helps generate a passion for science in others but gathers plenty of information for her works. Andy enjoys photography, traveling, and the outdoors, and has degrees in cinema and photography, history, and theater.
