Public Communicator for Space & Aspiring Astronaut
BETHANY DOWNER
PUBLIC ENGAGEMENT INITIATIVES FOR SCHOOLS, CLUBS, AND MORE
In May of 2022 I virtually spoke with over 500 classes in Newfoundland and Labrador. I am therefore taking a break from school talks but will resume this outreach work next year.
SPEAKING, INTERVIEW & CONSULTING REQUESTS
I am open to speaking and interview requests spanning a wide variety of topics. I also have limited availability for freelance work and consultancy services. Prospective partnership opportunities are also being considered for Newfoundland-based organizations.
ABOUT ME & CURRENT PROJECTS
In my day job I bring "rocket science" to the general public. It is my passion to bring space science and technology to broader audiences so that it can be understood and valued. I am also an active advocate for women in STEAM, particularly in the space domain, and for increased space opportunities for young professionals and students of Atlantic Canada. I also plan to go to space in the coming years
