Let's make this birthday one to remember.

62 years old (Born on May 12, 1962)

Happy birthday to April Grace, the most reliable Transporter Chief Starfleet has ever known! You never lost Captain Picard in transit—not even once. Your steadiness behind that transporter console brought a reassuring calm during cosmic crises and made us secretly wish teleportation were already real.

Beyond your impeccable skills aboard the Enterprise, you've transported yourself gracefully into many exciting roles since then. Through all these adventures off-screen and on-screen alike, we hope you boldly go where no celebration has gone before—filled with laughter, joy, and plenty of cake!

Live long and prosper happily (and cautiously use that transporter)!
