"The space and science industry has always inspired me to learn more and develop myself to better understand the universe.
Find a job that you love and are passionate about and you won't work a day in your life.
My goal in this role is to inspire students and the general public to explore STEM and to tackle fundamental questions the universe has that need answering for us to really understand our place in the cosmos."
