“The NASA’s internships are so unique. I have been able to use my interest in gaming and game design to work on AR/VR software that is used to work not only on missions, but even for environmental things like tracking the Canadian wildfire smoke.”

“I’ve always admired NASA, so it’s kind of like a fever dream. You don’t usually associate communications with NASA. So to get the internship with my background in media production and communications was so exciting. There’s a chance for me to work in this field I’ve always admired, after all.”
