Cassie Hatcher – Astronomy
Cassie is a lifelong learner with a passion for communicating high level science in a conversational matter. She holds a B.S. and M.S. in physics and has written two astronomy theses, one of which is published. She earned an internship at NASA’s Goddard Space Flight Center in 2016 and got the chance to see the James Webb Space Telescope while it was being built. Cassie feels many science topics are overcomplicated when they are being shared and if we work on ways to simplify our communications, we can help spark people’s curiosity.

Winston Endall- Rock Climbing Expert
Winston started rock climbing in 1985 on the challenging crags of Southern Ontario, Canada. His climbing journey started with mentors teaching a young teen and grew to include many courses and climbing partners, which helped develop his experience. His travels have taken him to climb in the Gunks, Indian Creek, Red River Gorge, Red Rocks, and Adirondacks to name just a few. Winston still climbs but puts a lot of energy into helping new climbers develop skills and fitness.

Em Glassie (née Riley)- Writer, Climber & Sports Enthusiast
I’m Em, a writer, climber, and sports enthusiast. I grew up playing and watching team sports, so rock climbing modified my mentality. Instead of competing against others for a clear-cut win, I was competing against myself to be a better athlete than I was the day before. With the help of amazing friends, I quickly became hooked on pushing myself mentally and physically, amazed by what I could accomplish.
The mentality shift overflowed into helping others learn and grow self-confidence in their own capabilities. I became a rock wall instructor to encourage new and veteran students alike to hit their limit and then reach a little further. In combining two passions of mine, teaching rock climbing and writing, I always hope each story encourages you to try something new, expand your knowledge, think critically, and reach higher than you ever thought possible.
On belay, my friends. I believe in you.
