In my future my main goal is to work as an engineer. I want to build rockets and test flies. Since childhood I found that I am interested in rocket science, but I was never considered myself to actually work in this sphere because there is no such agency as NASA in my country, and if someone wants to work in space field, this person would need to move to other, more developed country – a dream that will never come true for a girl in my country, since no one would ever let me go. That is why right now I do my best while studying and getting these skills, because, I believe, there is no more motivated person than the one who got the opportunity to fulfill one's dream. While doing labs and class projects, I found that I love to create and build incredible things, and I really like to analyze problems with it and improve to increase effectiveness. Therefore, I think, Rockets engineer is the best fit for me. In addition, I will test future flies. I will model all situations that could potentially happen in space and figure out how to avoid, or if they are unavoidable - how to solve them. I truly believe that this is very important job since it saves lives and helps me to contribute in studying the enormous Space.

After my graduation, I hope to complete my degree by getting my master's degree in Aerospace Engineering.

I love reading books. If I found an interesting book, I can forget about sleeping and eating until I finish it. My favorite genre is fantasy. I read and re-read tons of fantasy books, but sometimes I can dilute my library with romance novels, comedies or horror. I read during my free time, between classes and during eating, because I love to dive into the atmosphere of the unknown.
