Having been promoted to this pivotal role within the company, Natasha embodies the innovative drive that pushes our team forward in the fast-evolving space economy.

Join us to hear Natasha talk about her everyday challenges and achievements, her path into the space industry, and her advice for those looking to enter the field. Learn what drives her passion and commitment, at work and beyond.

Natasha, could you give us a snapshot of what your day-to-day role as an Operations Executive at EVONA entails? 

It can vary massively from day to day, which is what keeps the job interesting to me and keeps me on my toes. Some days I am doing event planning trips around the world and other days I am working on internal projects, like PowerBI candidate/client reports or project managing new product launches. At the moment I am working on a lot of reporting/data-led projects for the team to help enable them to make data-driven decisions.

Can you share with us how you ended up working at EVONA and what drew you to the space staffing sector?  

Initially, I was drawn in by the space industry, I thought it would be an interesting area to work in. Once I had visited the office, I was drawn in by the buzz – I found the 4 Co-Founders very inspiring and knew that the values of the company aligned closely with mine. 

What keeps you motivated, and can you share a moment or achievement at EVONA that you’re particularly proud of?

I find working in an innovative environment very motivating, I love that we are encouraged to think outside of the box and bring unique perspectives to the table. I find this very energising and keeps me excited to be at work. I would say that the achievement I am most proud of is recently getting promoted to Operations Executive. It always feels good to know that you are valued and appreciated – it has also opened up a new career path for me and a chance to understand the operational side of the business, which is something I am interested in. 

If you could offer a piece of advice to someone aspiring to enter the space economy staffing sector, what would it be? 

Entering the space economy staffing sector is both exciting and challenging, given the fast-paced development of the Space Economy. I believe that the best bit of advice I could offer someone is to always be adaptable and willing to learn. This way you can excel by staying on top of the latest trends and technologies, be resilient in the face of change, and evolve with the company.

Finally, beyond the office, what are some of your passions or hobbies? 

Usually I am hanging out with my friends, going to festivals/music events, or walking my dog – Outside of that I enjoy travelling and experiencing different cultures as much as I can.
