About Me
Engineer. Explorer. Commander.

I implement cutting-edge research in extreme environments to push the boundaries of space exploration.

I am unapologetically myself and inspiring others—especially women—to do the same.

On my way, in my own way!

What defines me:

  • Explorer at Heart — Earth for now, but the universe is calling.
  • Challenge Seeker — Extreme challenges? They’re easier than mental limits.
  • Straight Shooter — I hate milk and micro-management.
