Long before science became her career, Rose loved looking at the moon.
In this episode of She Says It, Madeline Sargent sits down with Dominican-born astronomer, storyteller, and advocate Rose for a conversation about curiosity, identity, science, and learning to use your voice in spaces where you don't always feel expected to belong.
Rose shares the story of the curiosity that shaped her from an early age, her path through higher education and astronomy, and the experiences that eventually led her to NASA.
But the path wasn't always straightforward. Rose reflects on navigating spaces where representation mattered, learning when to advocate for herself, and refusing to let other people's perceptions determine what she was capable of becoming.
Together, Rose and Madeline talk about resilience, belonging, the importance of telling your own story, and what it means to hold onto the parts of yourself that make you curious — even when the path forward isn't clear.
And through the different chapters of Rose's life, one thing has remained:
“No matter what I was going through, looking up at the moon brought me peace.”
Sometimes finding your voice begins by remembering what made you look up in the first place.
