Women can do anything and Flora Bobak is an excellent example of that. When she was just in 8th grade, she started her path to becoming an astronaut and is getting each time closer to reaching her goal. Flora, who is reframing the narrative around women and girls in STEM, is currently an Integration Engineer at Relativity Space. She is also a STEM enthusiast and speaker who loves to share her passion for science and space with the purpose of encouraging more women to join the STEM fields. As an aspiring astronaut, her vivid desire to make this dream come true has led her to many cool experiences, such as studying abroad, working at SpaceX, and going tornado chasing to test the aircraft she has built! Listening to Flora talk so enthusiastically about aerospace will encourage you to keep reaching for your goals and to believe that you are capable no matter how wild your dream might seem to others.
