There are lots of career options and routes, as we discuss with young people at our career conferences each year.
Lorna studied English, Art and Biology at A Level, has a Level 3 Diploma in Sports Massage and is a trained Phlebotomist! She is now the International Project Manager for the National Space Academy.
At the office
Lorna joined the National Space Academy in 2016 as an Administrator where she organised our busy diary and managed bookings; from masterclasses and careers events to team meetings and VIP visits.
Now, as the International Project Manager, Lorna coordinates our International Scoping Project which is developing the Academy's existing international partnerships and its reputation as an international leader in space education.
Away from the office
Lorna enjoys spending time with her daughter; whose favourite book happens to be The Darkest Dark by astronaut Chris Hadfield.
We asked Lorna...
Given the chance, would you go to space?

What's the best thing about science?
It is so exciting! There is always something new to learn.
What's the best thing about working at the National Space Academy?
Every day is different!
