My name is Marilé Colon Robles, and I'm a scientist that studies clouds

00:00:11.586 --> 00:00:15.877
that are collected by people around the world. When I'm not dreaming about

00:00:15.915 --> 00:00:22.660
clouds, I love hiking, bicycling, anything that involves being outside, I love.

00:00:22.701 --> 00:00:26.167
I love lizards. I don't know why, but those are my favorite.

00:00:26.167 --> 00:00:29.783
So in my job, I get to be a scientist, but I also get to be a teacher --

00:00:29.783 --> 00:00:34.488
an educator. I take inspiration by just people around me, seeing them

00:00:34.488 --> 00:00:39.573
and what their passion is, and seeing their eyes shine bright.

00:00:39.573 --> 00:00:43.777
There's a hundred and twenty different countries that are part of GLOBE.

00:00:43.777 --> 00:00:48.279
We receive thousands of
observations per day. Satellites are great,

00:00:48.317 --> 00:00:52.412
but they're not perfect. We need people on the ground looking up.

00:00:52.412 --> 00:00:56.062
The views are different, so when we combine them together

00:00:56.062 --> 00:01:00.140
we have a complete story. So all these things always intrigued me.

00:01:00.140 --> 00:01:06.705
I always had this passion to learn. I did a bachelor's degree in chemistry.

00:01:06.705 --> 00:01:08.349
It was beautiful to me!

00:01:08.422 --> 00:01:13.857
I also tried studying music because I've
been a musician since I was a little girl.

00:01:13.918 --> 00:01:18.550
With the music, it helped me with the math. So I would play on the weekends

00:01:18.550 --> 00:01:20.000
with the professional group.

00:01:20.000 --> 00:01:21.927
And so follow your passion,

00:01:21.927 --> 00:01:26.977
and then know that you can learn from anybody no matter what.

00:01:27.035 --> 00:01:49.119
