Teresa McBryan is pursuing an Aerospace Engineering degree at Arizona State University while also serving as a part-time researcher at Arizona State University’s Bio-Inspired Robotics, Technology and Healthcare Lab, where she works on developing screw-propelled vehicles as planetary rover designs. Throughout her time at university, she has sought out a variety of summer internship opportunities to get more hands-on experience. Teresa interned at the University of Maryland’s Space Systems Lab, where she worked on rewiring a satellite servicing robot prototype, during her first summer of college. In 2017, she interned at NASA Goddard Space Flight Center, doing research into cameras for cubesat applications. Teresa completed her third summer internship in 2018, this time at Orbital ATK.

In addition to working on her courses and part-time research projects, Teresa has dedicated spare time to helping others fall in love with space and satellite. She recently became a member of the Brooke Owens Fellowship, a program designed to inspire capable young women to enter the aerospace industry and to help boost their careers. Teresa’s SSPI scholarship will help fund her continued studies in aerospace engineering at Arizona Space University.

Teresa received a scholarship from SSPI in 2018.
