âI grew up in Ballina in the 1990s, and there was no visibility for these kinds of careers, she tells Her. When we went to Cleveland, we got to see the wind tunnels and how the ice formations would affect an aircraftâs flight, it was the first kind of exposure I had to space. It was one of those random things. You go on holiday with your family and you do all the tourists spots and then suddenly one of you is drawn in by something. I always tell parents to expose their kids to whatever you can, you never know what your child will find interest in.
