My name is Sophia Straus and I have lived in New York City my whole life! I am currently in high school and I have been practicing ventriloquism since I was in elementary school. I have also always had a passion for technology and science, especially astronomy! I have combined my interests to provide educational astronomy shows for kids. My sidekick, the Moon, is available to help out too (except sometimes when he is going through a phase)!
