S04E04: Nagin Cox — Exploring For The Next Generation
At 14, Nagin Cox knew that she wanted to be a space
explorer but being an astronaut was not her main goal. Keenly
aware that the true early explorers were robots, Nagin focused
her energy on becoming an engineer with a dream of working at
NASA’s Jet Propulsion Laboratory (JPL).
How does an Indian girl from Kansas City find her way to
being a systems engineer at NASA? With a lot of hard work,
perseverance, and a can-do attitude.
We recently had the opportunity to speak with Nagin about
her road to JPL, working remotely on Mars, how technology is
changing her work, and finding balance between her personal
and professional life.
