I am a Project Controller for the Orion European Service Modules, taking care of the budget and the cost of the programme on ESA side.

As a child, I was fascinated by the conquest of space and was very intrigued about space. Now, as part of the European Service Module team, it is like going back to the Apollo programmes but with more advanced technology and with safer means. It is so exciting to see it first hand!

What strikes me the most is how far we can go when there is cooperation among us, teamwork and sharing of the same goals. You realise how true this is, so applicable to daily life and also in the current pandemic.
