      I remember my first interest with space was with a book lying around in my house as a kid. The only reason I opened it was because it was huge, it was about a metre tall. Always had a liking to it but had a bunch of interests as a kid.

      I decided to do Maths in college for the simple reason that I enjoyed it. At that time I said if I do maths, I’m going to try and work in the space industry and hopefully for NASA. I was lucky enough to get the opportunity to go to Florida in 2012 to Kennedy and didn’t want to do anything else other than space after that. Fell more in love with it and the obsession has grown year on year. Couldn’t imagine doing anything else now.
