NASA Citizen scientist &  IT consultant Christy
Turner has a love for the night skies, weather, nature
and people. Internationally published writer and content creator,
Christy deeply  enjoys telling the fascinating stories
behind the photos.  Her photo of the aurora from an airplane
in 2014 landed her on CNN, and Christy completed a certificate
from University of Calgary in Integrated Digital Media in
2022.  She has traveled to 74 countries and in 2018 was
chosen to photograph a biodynamic wine harvest at Chateau Pontet
Canet in Bordeaux, France.  From weddings in South Africa to
elopements in Bragg Creek, Alberta, Christy loves to travel,
stare at the skies, and be behind her Nikon.
