Parshati’s Journey In STEM
Parshati’s fascination with space began with a trip to a planetarium when she was a young girl in India.
“I was blown away by what’s out there—that trip changed my life! Thanks to the many space books and a gift of telescope, I set my eyes on being an astronomer.”
This goal and fierce determination led her around the world to study in Canada at University of Toronto and Western University.
“While I did not have a role model in my field growing up, I aspired to change that during grad school. I combined my passion for space, communication and education to now be able to bring opportunities, role models and skills to youth across Canada (& sometimes India)!”
