This piece I wrote for @talkhouse is a part of my heart. ✨Link in Bio✨ About my life’s work, my dream role, and my late prince. And a thank you to my family, friends, and the #StrangeNewWorlds cast & crew who held me up, honored Brian’s memory, and made me smile again. Thank you to everyone who has already read it and messaged me or posted in any way to share how my words have reflected your own experiences with grief. The extraordinary people in your lives have changed you forever. Your memories of them are powerful. Keep telling their stories. Furious hugs to all of you. Furious because this sucks. Hugs because they help. #Grief changes everything. The pain is real. But it’s okay. We got this.

Feliz Día de los Reyes Magos! My humble gift to you is this Star Trek Day flashback of sexy crew goals. Season 2, where are you? #StarTrek #StarTrekDay #StrangeNewWorlds
When they won’t let you pilot a shuttle to Mars, get yourself a starship and go to planets they’ve never even heard of. #MondayMotivation #actorslife #Billions #StrangeNewWorlds #StarTrek
Little Ortegas! Star Trek fans are creative & talented AF. Fan art and fan fiction is no joke. But this one I came across has especially stuck with me because it reminds me of a younger, smaller, bolder me, with my big eyes & short hair, finally with the cut of my tomboy dreams. I hope Ortegas inspires generations of little girls, boys, and enbys to proudly rock whatever makes them and their faces happy. And to stay bold. No matter what life chucks at you. Bolder, wiser, stronger. Always. 🎨🖖: @foodcu_be #StarTrek #StrangeNewWorlds @gwshorthair #GirlWithShortHair
Pure heaven is right. This show really is something very special. So proud of our cast, our writers, and our crew. A true ensemble endeavor. #StrangeNewWorlds #FYC #StarTrek @paramountplus @cbstvstudios
Miss that face so much. He loved cycling, too. What didn’t we do together? He bought me a bright yellow vest because I wanted one just like his. But I do still see him everywhere. He was my other half after all. He still makes me smile and laugh and I correct myself when I’m home alone singing and hit a (rare) note out of tune. I miss every bit of him, but that’s how it should be, right? Because I loved every bit of him. Even how he didn’t like it when I cried about something that I now see was silly or when I seemed even the slightest bit down. He would want to fix it and make it better. Sometimes he’d give me an abrupt hug and say, “There. Better?” Which would inevitably make me laugh and make whatever was wrong, immediately, better. Not sure he’d be too impressed I’m out here still making everyone cry with my memories of us and our Star Trek journey. Because he’d be doing the opposite by now. He’d be making sure everyone remembers the good times, gently reminding us we have to accept what has happened, and helping us move forward with renewed determination. He’d also buy us all a few rounds of whiskey and keep you at the pub long past you were due home, charming you with his wit and regaling you with stories and making you forget your troubles if even just for a few hours. But then I’d remind him, in a moment alone, that crying is okay. Crying is helpful. Crying is necessary. And I know he’d agree. He’d understand. Especially now. Crying is a release for me, after which I find myself able to focus and reminisce and smile again. I have to ride my bike and I have to pick up my banjo. Goals for the next couple of weeks. Things he’d want me to be doing because he knows they once made me happy. I’ll add it to my list. Brian knows how I love my lists. He’s No. 1 on all of them. But at least that’s nothing new. How lucky we were. How lucky we remain. 🚵♂️💘🔥
Just over here making franchise history. 😎 Strange New Worlds is now the most-watched @startrek original series debut on @paramountplus ever and is also one of the top two most-watched original series on @paramountplusuk. Bring on Star Trek Day. ✨09.08.22✨ See you in LA. 🖖 #StarTrek #StrangeNewWorlds #StarTrekSNW #StarTrekDay #NYC #actorslife

Happy Trek Tuesday! My interview on Open Pike Night is out now. ✨LINK IN BIO✨ We spoke for hours about everything Strange New Worlds and then some. I laughed a lot, cried a bit (for only good reasons), smiled throughout, and drank a lot of coffee out of a Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles mug that @the_furious_owl bought me and that no one will see (because: podcast). It kicks off with a montage of the most wonderful messages from fans around the world and continues with what I hope is a proper 🖖Thank You🖖 from me to a crew of fans who have been chanting #Mortegas all season, and to the fandom at large, for making our first outing one of the best in the history of Star Trek. Because for all that we do on set, the success of this franchise is up to everyone watching from home. I could never, would never, and Vulcan salute promise to never forget that. #LLAP #ForBrian #OpenPikeNight #StarTrek #StrangeNewWorlds #StarTrekSNW @startrek @startrekonpplus
Shout-out to my niece who beat me to my lifelong dream of rocking a tricorn hat. Heck, the whole outfit is a dream role I hope to get cast in one day. 🎭 The hat, those boots, that vest! She’s like a mini me, dressed as Deborah Sampson, who fought in disguise for the Continental Army in the American Revolutionary War and pointed out for generations of women to come: “Why can I not fight for my country, too?” Proud of my niece for choosing to represent such a trailblazer, putting together such a boss outfit for a school project, and fearlessly going against the grain. I’m like a century older, but I already look up to her. #rebelgirl @rebelgirls

Hailing from Argentina…my interview with Remeras Rojas! Brush up on your Spanish and check out their @remerasrojas YouTube account for my episode & many more. 🖖 There’s no content like fan content. So very thrilled I’ve had the chance to engage with creators from around the world on a handful of stellar podcasts this past year. The enthusiasm, ingenuity, and knowledge that fans new & old, near & far bring to the franchise is always impressive but never surprising. A chance to meet in person is what got me out to Las Vegas this past weekend – which would’ve been a feat whether I was grieving or not – and I’m a better everything for it. Star Trek Las Vegas was a celebration of all things & all fans Trek and a fitting way to kick off my newfound convention life. Looking forward to New York Comic Con in October, plenty more podcasts in 2023, and a long career of taking photos with & signing autographs for the happiest people I have ever had the pleasure of meeting en masse. #STLV #StarTrek #56YearMission #StrangeNewWorlds #ForBrian
Despite a growing recognition of the importance of diversity and inclusion in STEM fields, media representations of women in STEM continue to lag behind.
