After developing an interest in space and science at the age of three, my curiosity has expanded to include physics, engineering, world history, and environmental and economic sustainability. Having lived in Canada and the US for the past several years has not only allowed me to continue exploring my passions but also deepened my understanding and appreciation of the beauty and complexity of diverse ideas and viewpoints. In the future, I aim to pursue aerospace engineering with the goal of establishing a permanent lunar outpost. I hope that research and access to the abundant resources on the moon will help build a more environmentally and economically sustainable society by addressing today’s most pressing global challenges, such as resource depletion, food and water scarcity, and climate change.
