I liked science and math in school and I always interested in how things work, I thought by being a scientist I could solve at least some problems of the world… later I realised that even if this is true, the results of science only materialise in a long time, so I changed job and became a design engineer, so I could see my contribution to saving the world sooner 🙂

I always liked maths at school so thought this was what I was going to do at University. During my A levels I started to really enjoy Physics, so I decided to study both Maths and Physics at University.
It was then that I started loving Astronomy! -

When I was a kid I always liked to build things, find out some cool way of constructing or drawing something, I liked to grow plants, to sculpt some wood, and these activities made me wonder a lot about how nature works, what are forces, what is matter etc. I also read a lot of science fiction which made me dream a lot about the Universe 🙂
All this made me more and more attracted to science as I was going to ask my parents and teachers questions, and realized I would need to study more to get my answers 🙂

I found science explained things to me and it made sense, I know it can be difficult but understanding the why was always something that appealed to me.
