Hi, it’s Jill, and In Her Orbit is my new project—a passion-driven space where I bring together my love for technology and the stories that make it meaningful. This vision has been years in the making, inspired by my fascination with space exploration and the desire to make advanced technologies relatable to everyone.
At In Her Orbit, I believe that technology isn’t just about circuits, algorithms, or rocket launches—it’s about people. It’s about connection, curiosity, and the stories that bind us to the infinite possibilities of innovation. This is where the technical meets the emotional, where the abstract becomes relatable, and where the human side of technology takes center stage.
My mission is to bridge the gap between the groundbreaking advancements of our time and the hearts and minds of those who want to understand their significance. I’m here to answer the questions you didn’t even think to ask—the ones that reveal not just how something works, but why it matters. Whether it’s exploring the cosmos or demystifying artificial intelligence, I’ll take you on a journey to discover how these advancements shape our world and our place within it.
Space exploration and advanced technologies are more than just impressive feats; they’re a testament to what humanity can achieve when we dream big and work together. But sometimes, the language of technology feels inaccessible or overwhelming. That’s where In Her Orbit comes in. I make the confusing understandable by connecting it to the everyday, the emotional, and the personal.
Whether you’re a tech enthusiast, a curious mind, or someone who just wants to know why it all matters, you’re in the right place. Together, let’s explore the why behind the what, and uncover the ways innovation can inspire, empower, and transform us all.

Why You Should Care About Space When Earth Is Burning
I was sitting in Washington, D.C., scrolling through the news, when I saw the images of wildfires tearing through California. Even from 3,000 miles away, the devastation felt personal—because Los Angeles is my hometown. Seeing those skies filled with smoke and knowing the toll on lives, homes, and communities broke my heart. It reminded me of the tragedy in Maui just months earlier.

Your GPS and Why You Should Care About Space Trash
One day, while waiting to get off a plane in D.C., trying to distract my thoughts from judging what people leave behind, my brain wondered all on its own about what happened to all the trash in space. The result was many sleepless nights, a mistaken idea to rewatch the movie "Gravity," and a lot of learning about what happens to all the stuff people worldwide have been launching into space.
I learned that space debris is a lot like pollution on Earth, but it's happening in
