Currently, I work in NASA's exoplanet exploration program. Looking up at the sky, you see more stars than you can count. Turns out, each of those is a sun just like ours, shining on planets like ours, and others that are way weirder! I get to spend my time working to discover those planets, and to learn more about them.
Right now, I also get to work toward the next generation of space telescopes, which will allow us to take pictures of those faraway worlds, see the seasons change, and maybe even discover our first evidence of life.
