What did you want to be growing up?
An Astronaut! Space is awesome, and I love Sci-Fi. It seemed like a logical conclusion.
What draws you to working with students?
Students always have a different point of view than what adults tend to consider. They look at problems in a completely different way and solve them in methods we often overlook. They see the world from a genuine place of exploration.
