Linda Chen is a second-year undergraduate studying Mechanical Engineering at Princeton University. She caught the space bug when she read The Martian as a part of a mandatory summer reading assignment just before she entered high school. She liked how Mark Watney in the book problem-solved his way out of trouble with a diverse team. At school, she is the suspension lead on Princeton Racing Electric, a founder of her school’s Women of Aeronautics and Astronautics chapter, and an Outdoor Action leader. In her free time, she is playing either rugby and volleyball, consuming caffeine, or taking film photography.
