She spent time in Toulouse, France, Moscow and Houston, and sat in during real-time operations on board the ISS and observed 3 manned Sojuz launches in Kazakhstan.

With a big love for human spaceflight she took over part of the Event Management at the European Astronaut Centre, Cologne, Germany. With 10 years of work experience in the space business she is also an accomplished motivational speaker and presenter.
