Sunny Rasmussen

Biography

My name is Sunny Joy. My heart belongs to the intersection of astrophysics and political science. I love astrophysics, because it combines the STEM of physics with the poetry of astronomy, and politics because I am a natural born leader.

I created my thirty year plan at age 11, during a school trip to DC, by combining my love of Astrophysics, Political Science, and Washington, DC. An ideal life for me means that I will be a lifelong learner of the Universe as well as advocate for science, and its necessary funding. My goal is to become NASA Administrator in Washington, DC.

To get me to NASA, I will earn a Bachelors of Physics & Astronomy and Political Science from The U, a Masters in Public Administration, and an Astrophysics PhD, then I’ll get hired by NASA to be a research Astrophysicist, climbing the ranks from there.

I love to serve my community, play sports, work in my astronomy research lab, and knit!
