I actually started off as a teenager thinking that I wanted to go work for NASA one day,
and so I studied aerospace engineering initially at university, but I became interested in ocean
engineering towards the end of my university career and then made that transition into
studying the oceans, but always with the idea in the back of my mind that wouldn't
it be great to work for NASA one day?
The only thing that I was really good in high school was math.
Math came easy to me, I don't really have to study math,
just, you know it was really easy, that was the only thing I was good at,
my counselor, of course, said "engineering is for you!"
I think just my interest in math and science
pushed me towards engineering, and liking or learning about how things worked.
