I have always been interested in space, but I never dreamed that it could be something I would be involved in. No one in my family had ever been to university, so I was pretty excited to simply study Physics at University, and I then went on to be a teacher. Next, I decided to study a Masters degree in Space Exploration Systems purely because I found it interesting and I wanted to go back to university. During my degree I found that this was something I loved, and I was rather good at it. It was here where I learned about space resources, and how they can be used to support long duration crewed missions in space. With my new found skill set, I was able to pursue a PhD degree working on an instrument called ProSPA that will be flown to the Moon. The work I did during my PhD could be used to perform one of the first ever water production experiments on the Moon.
