Cheyenne is a St Lucian Astrophysicist who completed an Integrated Master's degree in Physics and Astrophysics at The University of Sheffield in the UK. Her passion for space came full circle back to her home island when she got elected as the National Point of Contact (NPoC) for St Lucia in the Space Generation Advisory Council (SGAC). In this capacity, she is working to raise awareness of the potential benefits of space technology to St Lucia and the rest of the Caribbean region and is building a network of St Lucian youth who are passionate about space and eager to contribute to the Space Sector on a regional and global scale.
An initiative stemming from this role as NPoC is the St LUcia National Astronomy Association, LUNAA, of which she is the President and Co-founder. LUNAA is the first of its kind in St Lucia and aims to be an avenue for space enthusiasts to connect as well as a national platform to raise awareness of the potential benefits of space technology to the Caribbean. This fits into Cheyenne's wider career goals - increasing Caribbean representation in the Space sector and increasing ethnic and gender diversity in Science, Technology, Engineering and Mathematics (STEM) fields. She hopes to use her knowledge, skills and network to educate, inspire and assist the next generation of Caribbean STEM students.
