They involved me in meaningful work and consistently checked in, which made the transition from university to a 40-hour workweek less daunting. My motivation to continue my career at Sierra Space stemmed from my love for the Dream Chaser program and my incredible team. Working on an exciting and groundbreaking mission with talented, passionate individuals drives me to be a better engineer.”
