During her first year at the academy she struggled with all the study and rules missing her freedom and seriously considered leaving. At the start of her 3rd year her grades dropped again and she was nearly dismissed. But with the encouragement of her peers and tutors, she made it through graduating in top half of her year. At academy she choose to major in engineering specializing in nanotechnology and programming but also graduated with minor in astrophysics after gaining an interest in science during her time there. | During her first year at the academy she struggled with all the study and rules missing her freedom and seriously considered leaving.

Her first assignment was to Federation Embassy of Duronis II. Shortly after arriving she received an offer she couldn't turn down to be Acting Chief Engineer to a starship on a 4 year mission exploring the unknown the USS. Za. She quickly packed her bags, but didn't think of the consequences of being away from home for so long. She found it hard at first missing her family. She was particularly close to her sister and nephew while at the academy, had previously seen him regularly from when he was born. Also she found it difficult gaining respect from the engineering crew being a young Ensign particular from a seasoned petty officer Vreya Kima. | Her first assignment was to Federation Embassy of Duronis II.
