1
00:00:01,600 --> 00:00:05,680
What would you say is your fun fact\h
that not most people know about you?

2
00:00:05,680 --> 00:00:11,280
Definitely, the part about fencing because\h
I'm a really, really tiny person and when\h\h

3
00:00:11,280 --> 00:00:15,920
people realize that I fence with a\h
sword that's over four feet long.

4
00:00:15,920 --> 00:00:17,920
they are like yeah. What is going on over here?

5
00:00:23,440 --> 00:00:27,040
Getting to meet interns that\h
are doing such amazing projects\h\h

6
00:00:27,040 --> 00:00:29,440
and I think meeting them\h
and hearing their stories,

7
00:00:29,440 --> 00:00:33,920
hearing what inspires them is really\h
inspiring for me and sort of my favorite part.

8
00:00:33,920 --> 00:00:37,760
I'm working on the design for a high\h
pressure turbine that fits inside of\h\h

9
00:00:37,760 --> 00:00:40,880
a small turbo -fan engine called the Dgen380.

10
00:00:40,880 --> 00:00:44,720
A couple of different projects, the\h
main project being a VR flight simulator\h\h

11
00:00:44,720 --> 00:00:47,120
for the SUSAN Hybrid Electric Aircraft.

12
00:00:47,120 --> 00:00:53,600
I work on where you would put reactions thrusters\h
and how like their performance would have to be\h\h

13
00:00:53,600 --> 00:00:57,840
in order to accomplish certain tasks\h
in a spacecraft mission design.

14
00:00:57,840 --> 00:01:03,840
The last female professor, she really\h
advocated for women to kind of

15
00:01:04,720 --> 00:01:06,080
get more into the weeds of math.

16
00:01:06,080 --> 00:01:12,160
My dream job would be something that's\h
challenging because I love challenges and\h\h

17
00:01:12,160 --> 00:01:15,120
the end product should benefit all of mankind.

18
00:01:15,120 --> 00:01:20,640
I can't run very fast, so I\h
like to rollerblade and then my\h\h

19
00:01:20,640 --> 00:01:23,200
German shepherd can actually run next to me.

20
00:01:23,840 --> 00:01:28,000
Everybody has a genuine passion for what\h
they're working on and what they're doing.

21
00:01:28,000 --> 00:01:34,320
I think just the fact that it's going to play\h
a part in, you know, progressing humanity and\h\h

22
00:01:34,320 --> 00:01:39,360
pushing us further and and pushing the\h
boundaries of what humanity's capable of.

23
00:01:39,360 --> 00:01:46,880
I grew up in Alaska, and there there's a\h
Japanese immersion program. So I learned\h\h

24
00:01:46,880 --> 00:01:50,880
half of my subjects in\h
Japanese and half in English.

25
00:01:50,880 --> 00:01:54,960
I drove cross-country solo,\h
and that was really fun. That,\h\h

26
00:01:54,960 --> 00:01:57,200
honestly, was one of the\h
best things I've ever done.

27
00:01:57,200 --> 00:02:02,720
I'm part of a dance academy that is called Los Lupeños and we're a Mexican Folklórico group.

28
00:02:02,720 --> 00:02:06,240
Racing and riding four wheelers\h
and dirt bikes. That's something\h\h

29
00:02:06,240 --> 00:02:08,560
I've been doing for about sixteen years.

30
00:02:08,560 --> 00:02:11,920
I like to play cricket. Cricket\h
is a very popular game in Asia.

31
00:02:11,920 --> 00:02:16,240
Big part of it is I really love the team. The\h
GVIS lab is a really cool group of people.

32
00:02:16,240 --> 00:02:20,320
I'm from California originally, so I wouldn't\h
mind living somewhere on the West Coast.

33
00:02:20,320 --> 00:02:25,680
Something on my bucket list would\h
probably be to see the Northern Lights.
