United Nations Office for Outer Space Affairs
(UNOOSA)
Engaged with the United Nations Office for Outer Space Affairs (UNOOSA) on initiatives focused on equitable access to space, international cooperation, and space-enabled development, with an emphasis on inclusion of women, youth and underrepresented space nations.
UNOOSA Space4Women Mentorship Programme
Selected participant in the United Nations Office for Outer Space Affairs (UNOOSA) Space4Women Mentorship Programme, where I was mentored by Cassie Lee, Advanced Programs Lead at Lockheed Martin Space and Co-Founder of the Brooke Owens Fellowship. The mentorship centred on leadership development, career pathways in the space sector, and advancing equitable participation of women within the global space ecosystem.
​
I attended regular mentorship meetings that explored space leadership from a global perspective, with focused discussions on the role of space technologies in supporting developing countries. Conversations emphasized international cooperation, inclusive governance, and the design and deployment of space-enabled systems to address global challenges across diverse geopolitical and socioeconomic contexts.
UNOOSA Space4Youth Involvement
Contributed two accepted articles to UNOOSA’s Space4Youth platform, Journey to the Edge of Our Planet and Space for Disaster Management, both currently in the process of publication. Drawing on personal experience across near-space experimentation and disaster contexts, the pieces explore how space technologies, youth leadership, and global perspectives, particularly from developing countries, can contribute to more inclusive, equitable, and socially responsive space futures.
