Cheyenne is a St Lucian Astrophysicist & Science Communicator who completed an Integrated Master's degree in Physics and Astrophysics at The University of Sheffield in the UK. Her passion for space came full circle back to her home island when she co-founded St Lucia's first National Astronomy Association (@lunaa758). In her capacity as co-founder and president, she is working to raise awareness of the potential benefits of space technology to the Caribbean region as well as providing an avenue for space enthusiasts to connect. 

 Cheyenne took a detour into the Finance Technology world after completing her Masters but she still uses her free time to share Astrophysics content along with some fun GIFs on social media. She aims to pursue her PhD in Astrophysics in the coming years with her wider career goals centered on increasing ethnic and gender diversity in STEM fields.
