Angel Kumari ’22, interning at NASA Maryland in science communications

Kumari graduated from Clemson University in 2022 with a BS in Biological Sciences, minoring in English, and doing research at the Life Science building. Currently, she works for NASA Goddard Space Flight Center as a Pathways NASA Live Shot Producer to complete a year-long internship in science communications. She states, “I realize that there is a lot of emphasis on science research at Clemson but not on science communication which is equally important. I hope to share my story because I want other science students to realize that there are other paths in science instead of research, medicine, and engineering. I was able to combine my love for English with the sciences and start my path in science communication.” Also, Kumari is a graduate student at Johns Hopkins University in a Masters in Science Writing program.
