Can you describe what you do?
My expertises include the use of geospatial and EO data in the collection, analysis, and presentation of information for disaster management and providing rapid geospatial support during major emergencies. This phase of emergencies allows me to utilise my spatial analysis skills, as it involves early warning to early action analysis, which mainly includes data preparedness, response, and early warning action.
What ambitions do you have for your space career?
My aspirations in the space sector is to fully delve into space policy and see its impact on sustainable development goals, especially in Africa. More broadly I would like to focus on the impact of space science in the emerging growth of the African space sector, where it stems not only from recent commercial, scientific and technological developments, but also from the innovations and participation of youths in space strategies and programmes being created and developed.
What advice would you give fellow non-tech space enthusiasts if they want to pursue a job in space?
There is an increasing demand of the use of space technology across the globe. Harness and cease the chance by developing skill, networking, be open to mentorship and constantly challenging oneself to adapt to the evolving impact geospatial technology is growing into.
