I first became interested in the space industry while considering thesis topics for my psychology bachelor's degree. I began reading about the psychology of human survival in extreme environments such as space and Antarctica while generating ideas. I became interested in space quickly and began to read more about it. I was fascinated by a phenomenon known as the 'Overview Effect,' so I focused my thesis on it, conducting qualitative interviews with NASA astronauts to explore their experiences of it. I later applied for an internship at the World Space Week Association (WSWA), where I now work as an external relations manager. I have continued my research on the 'Overview effect' and am currently conducting an additional study that aims to determine whether the phenomenon and its therapeutic effects can be replicated using Virtual Reality.

Psychology is applicable in almost all career domains, and space is no exception. Whilst there is a whole branch of psychology that focuses on the preparation of astronauts to go to space, adapt to life there, and come back to life on Earth, psychology is also very much applicable to my everyday tasks when working with WSWA's partners and sponsors. I believe that my unique academic background provides me with a significant advantage because it enables me to view certain problems and situations through a unique lens and come up with innovative solutions.

My ambitions and aspirations are without bounds. I find that I am constantly setting new goals for myself, each one more ambitious than the one before it. Consequently, it is nearly impossible to envision what my future career could entail. In any case, I'd love to continue focusing on space psychology, and I hope to raise awareness of this novel yet critically important field. I would love to work with astronauts again, and perhaps one day with the teams that prepare them for space travel. Currently, I enjoy my work with the WSWA. I recognize the significance of what we do and eagerly anticipate the association's future.
