IN SHORT

Carmen Félix has dedicated herself to building a career in space exploration. Ever since she was five years old, she’s been fascinated by the stars. The journey to actually work in the space industry has been a long one, however Carmen continues to chip away at the list of requirements. The main thing is that she’s doing what she loves, and even when people suggest for her to pick an easier career, Carmen refuses to deviate from her mission. “I love just about everything in the space sector. Dedicating myself to space is what recharges me, gives me energy, it makes me happy.”
