Congratulations to you both, well deserved wins for your dedication and commitment.

We are so proud to congratulate our very own Superstars of STEM, Dr. Kirsten Ellis. Kirsten is passionate about inspiring our next generation of technologists through her innovative work with a variety of platforms that assist people with disabilities to solve real world problems.
