Quotes:
"I didn't have any friends who were interested in space like I was, and, I got made fun of a lot as a kid for being interested in this stuff. So I kind of learned to not share that part of me, and I kept my obsession for space pretty much within just my family."
— Maria Varmazis
"We are now living in an era where the space industry is bustling with opportunities for professionals from all backgrounds, not just those with aerospace credentials."
- Maria Varmazis
