Bio

Hello, I am Marina Aristud. I am currently a college student working to get my degree in Aerospace Engineering with a focus on Astronautics at Arizona State University. For fun, I travel to places like Japan, make origami, golf, lunar photography, and voice acting for a YouTube channel: @K.ichigo. I view life as an opportunity to grow and learn from my experiences, helping me move forward and become a better version of myself. I am currently working my way into building a career in astronomy while also seeking opportunities to explore different hobbies and participate in volunteer work."
