She is also a project manager for the [[Starfleet Corps of Engineers]] and a [[Starfleet Academy Curriculum|Starfleet Academy]] instructor. Driven by a passion to advance starship design and faster-than-light propulsion theory, she specialized in starship design in her graduate studies at both Starfleet Academy and the Daystrom Institute of Technology, where she worked on the development of the [[quantum slipstream drive]]. She later co-designed the [[warp XV engine]] with [[Oddas Aria]], taking part in the revolutionary engine's first flight in 2396. | ||

Previously assumed to have been born on Moselina IV, a busy trade stop located near Krios Prime, Roshanara later discovered that her birth mother had arranged for her to be smuggled off world to Moselina IV, where she was given up for adoption. A human couple took her in, named her, and raised her back on Earth in the city of Lahore. Often mistaken for a Trill due to her [[Kriosian]] spots, she joined Starfleet because of her interest in starship design and engineering, an interest that has not come without a cost as she was gravely injured early in her career from a major accident that required lengthy rehabilitation. | Previously assumed to have been born on Moselina IV, a busy trade stop located near Krios Prime, Roshanara later discovered that her birth mother had arranged for her to be smuggled off world to Moselina IV, where she was given up for adoption.
