00:00:07,760 --> 00:00:11,537
My name is Marilé Colon Robles, and I'm a scientist that studies clouds

2
00:00:11,586 --> 00:00:15,877
that are collected by people around the world. When I'm not dreaming about 

3
00:00:15,915 --> 00:00:22,660
clouds, I love hiking, bicycling, anything that involves being outside, I love.

4
00:00:22,701 --> 00:00:26,167
I love lizards. I don't know why, but those are my favorite. 

5
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 --

6
00:00:29,783 --> 00:00:34,488
an educator. I take inspiration by just people around me, seeing them

7
00:00:34,488 --> 00:00:39,573
and what their passion is, and seeing their eyes shine bright. 

8
00:00:39,573 --> 00:00:43,777
There's a hundred and twenty different countries that are part of GLOBE. 

9
00:00:43,777 --> 00:00:48,279
We receive thousands of 
observations per day. Satellites are great,  

10
00:00:48,317 --> 00:00:52,412
but they're not perfect. We need people on the ground looking up. 

11
00:00:52,412 --> 00:00:56,062
The views are different, so when we combine them together 

12
00:00:56,062 --> 00:01:00,140
we have a complete story. So all these things always intrigued me.

13
00:01:00,140 --> 00:01:06,705
I always had this passion to learn. I did a bachelor's degree in chemistry. 

14
00:01:06,705 --> 00:01:08,349
It was beautiful to me!

15
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. 

16
00:01:13,918 --> 00:01:18,550
With the music, it helped me with the math. So I would play on the weekends 

17
00:01:18,550 --> 00:01:20,000
with the professional group.  

18
00:01:20,000 --> 00:01:21,927
And so follow your passion,

19
00:01:21,927 --> 00:01:26,977
and then know that you can learn from anybody no matter what.
