The best Disney/child star trajectory I’ve ever seen 💀🙏🏾

[Celebirteas]

I don’t understand a word she’s saying but I’m glad she’s doing well

[designthedays]

From Disney to being a Space company CEO. What a boss! 😎🔥

[aamirrazak]

Her career journey from Disney channel to MIT and Harvard and now a ceo of a company is just incredible

[helsinki]

In a decade or two, we're definitely gonna get a movie about her.

[w.e.]

Her eyes tell you enough about how hard she’s working

[phillippinell]

A few years ago I took a class that was co-taught with the MIT media lab and Bridgit was my TA. Every mark she made on one of my papers felt like an autograph.

[sadafule]

as someone who used to watch Good Luck Charlie and now works in the space industry, this is SO awesome to see

[AdamGrishamOfficial]

I think she’s boarding up the windows, locking up my heart

[kenyaprofit]

Disney star turned space tech ceo is lit 🔥

[gabifgt]

now that is MOTHER. DOCTOR. ICON. QUEEN OF EVERYTHING.

[ΒύρωναςΛαδιάς]

I’ve been watching her on Disney Channel since I was like 7, seeing her trajectory has been insane. Wish her the best with her new venture!

[BubbaJoey]

I am proud of her as if she were a relative of mine. She's so wholesome!

[TheAmazingHoho]

Wait I saw the thumbnail and I couldn't believe my eyes!!!!

Congrats to this girl, honestly. Instead of doing stupid stuff or being exploited for money, look where she is! She is a great example of what women should aspire to be! Strong, successful, intelligent, independent!

[divacsantiago]

You can actually tell she is actually putting in that work👍

[TheJttv]

If your confused what she is saying they are building ground base phased array antennas. The same thing as a starlink dish.

[cassiopeiathew]

Obviously I never knew her but it’s crazy seeing how much she’s changed over the years, I’m glad all the comments are so proud of her because she seems to be doing such important work

[lilimuyunda]

She makes me want to be so educated. 😭💓 Bridgit my Barbie.

[maylily]

one of the rare Disney channel stars that didn't resort to drugs or bad things and became successful. what an amazing woman!!

[jmg]

Wow I would never have expected to see a former Disney star helping run a Space Company! She's so intelligent and well spoken. Bridget, I'm so proud to see you here, and I know Charlie would be too!
