The Houston Museum of Natural Science has announced Kavita Self is the new director for HMNS at Sugar Land and the George Observatory in Needville, according to a July 15 press release.
Self has been with HMNS since 2013, working most recently as the program manager at the Sugar Land campus and leading the volunteer program, according to the release.
"Science explains the world we live in—the way it was, the way it is—and will help us shape the way it will be," Self said in the release. "I still remember my sense of wonder as a child discovering science, and I get to recreate that every day at HMNS."
Self, who graduated from Rice University, lives in the Sugar Land area with her husband and their three children. Self is active with her children's scout activities, volunteers with Fort Bend County homeless youth and is a member of the Fort Bend Junior Service League.
