Notable Projects |None as of yet, small adjustments to Gallic terraforming technology - nothing groundbreaking or note worthy. Short (Long) Biography |I was born on Planet New Paris, near one of the major starports, Ile du Palais. To say that I was blessed with a lucky start would be an understatement, but I have tried to use my fortunate upbringing to its maximum potential.
From a young age, I used to gaze up at the stars and stare into the beautiful abyss above me, eyes locked and transfixed at the natural colours overhead. Ill-de-France is a very good place for capturing a young girls amazement. When you look up into the sky, with just the naked eye, you can see a number of planets, each one radiating its own rather unique hue against the background of space. Ill-de-France seems to have an abundance of celestial bodies compared to most systems, and I'd say that definitely influenced the direction my future career and education would lean towards.
Thanks to my background, I was sent off to a rather quite prestigious school. I won't pretend that I excelled or was better than everyone else, but I was certainly rather accomplished in the sciences and mathematics - just a particular strength I suppose. That all being said, my competition was much higher here than it would be in some of the more public schools.
When it was time to move on from basic education into a more specific and specialised field, I applied to the Royal Gallic Research Institute, on New Paris. In all honesty, I wasn't expecting to be accepted given how high the standards are, but I consider myself lucky. Here we studied a whole array of scientific concepts and subjects, all from a particular strand of research. I had chosen a rather broad option - Astronomy and Astrobiology. These topics covered every branch under the sun (pun intended).
I liked the fact we dabbled in everything, it gave me a taste of science in almost every field imaginable, allowing me to really see what I was good at, and what I enjoyed. I soon realised I took a keen interest in research and study of some of the planets around Gallia, Planet Vienne specifically. It was fascinating how a world could support primitive life, but be so inhospitable to humans, while also being nigh impossible to terraform.
I've studied at the Institute for years now, honing my knowledge. As mentioned prior, while I do specialise in the studies of Planets and their terrain, and such, I have a rather wide knowledge base that I believe is better put to use elsewhere. That being said, I've always prefered to be more of a "boots on the ground" kind of researcher. I love exploring the vast wilderness of an uncharted world or gathering samples that have never been touched before. Practical endeavours call to me.
The question beckons: "Why IRG?" The answer is a rather simple one. From what I've heard you are the "go to guys" for anything and everything research-based and are the leading research group in Sirius. Staying in Gallia limits my potential and I hate being limited. So, with that being said, I am reaching out. If my services can be of use I will happily provide them.
I know this was meant to be short, but I love talking about myself.
