🐺 University of New Mexico

Hi! My name is Allie, and I have the pleasure to be a SCOPE-NM student delegate. I am a first year at University of New Mexico studying astrophysics. I was born in Albuquerque, but raised in Oregon. I have many hobbies, ranging from various sports to academics. My passion for space science started when I was 15, and only has grown since then! I am thrilled to be involved with this unique opportunity! 

🐆 Atrisco Heritage Academy High School

I am currently a senior in high school with a deep passion for machinery and computers. I've always been fascinated with how technology works. When I was younger, my 3Ds broke, showing the intricate parts underneath the screen. I was starstruck. My love for technology only grew when I took related classes ranging from cybersecurity to electrical engineering. I strive for a future where everyone can rely on technology without fear of safety or privacy.

Hello everyone, my name is Anny M. Salas and I am extremely excited to take part in SCOPE-NM! My love for Astronomy began at a very young age; I was in 3rd grade when I began to ask for a telescope after my parents took us on a family trip to the Griffith Observatory. I was pursuing combined degrees of Astrophysics and Geology at UNM, but could not afford to continue my studies at UNM. I had to leave UNM after my Spring 2016 semester. I decided to go back to school but this time to pursue a different degree path. My dream is to one day work for a Space Agency in the U.S.

Hi, I’m Isabella Mendez. I am very excited to see what SCOPE-NM has in store for me. I am studying Anthropology with a focus on Archaeology and minoring in Earth & Planetary Sciences. I’m originally from Southern California but moved to Albuquerque to attend UNM. I recently participated in the Earth Sciences Computing and Programing Experience program with the Earth & Planetary Sciences Department here at UNM.

I'm a senior year Psychology undergraduate at UNM, whose ultimate dream is to work at NASA and conduct long term isolation studies to enable long-term space travel. I use He/They/It pronouns, and really like Music and Art. I also have a tattoo of a Mars Rover!

Howdy! My name is Tatyana Falkowsky, I am so excited to be a part of SCOPE-NM this year! I’ve been interested in space research since working with UNM’s NASA MINDS team, Team CHILI HOUSE, on a project related to growing plants autonomously on the ISS. I am working towards medical school and am extremely interested in any kind of astrobiology (plant or human).
