How NASA Engineer Naina Noorani Strives to Help Humanity

Naina Noorani is an aerospace engineer at NASA Johnson Space
Center in Houston, Texas. Naina grew up as a quiet kid who loved
sports and school. She knew at a young age that she wanted to
help the world and improve society in some way. A math and
science lover at heart, Naina fell into aerospace after taking a
chance on applying for the Pathways Program at NASA. She
eventually got in and spent one year rotating through three
different internships at NASA before completing her final year at
Rice University. On this episode, Naina pulls back the curtain on
projects she’s worked on and shares tips for acing an interview.
She also explores life lessons she’s learned along the way--from
the power of curiosity to not being afraid of taking risks.
