Awesome! Thank you! I hope to be able to travel to experience such great things companies, like Fermilab, has to offer.

I know that you sometimes come to different universities for your talks. Being in Texas, would you ever consider coming to the University of Texas at Austin to inspire and/or motivate fellow STEM students?

Thanks for the reply! I was actually in Air Force ROTC, so I have learned some valuable leadership skills as well as being able to work well with others. Unfortunately I dropped out of the program. Becoming a test pilot might be out the question at this point haha!

I do certainly plan to get my masters at the very least and hopefully my PhD in the future. Speaking of excelling in fields, do you have any knowledge of potential internships on the physics/astronomy field? If so, I'd love to check em' out!

Thanks again!

Hello Emily!

Right now i'm an undergraduate student in Austin, TX working towards a degree in Physics with a focus in Astronomy (possibly changing that to a minor or possible double major).

My plan is to apply for the Astronaut Candidate Program at NASA. For someone like me interested in a goal such as that, what advice could you give me about obtaining that goal?
