The powerful thing about reading for me has always been a book’s power to transport me to another location, whether it be to an imaginary world, or back in time, or to the other side of the planet in our own present day. One of the books that launched that fascination for me was Madeleine L’Engle’s A Wrinkle in Time, which catapults its protagonists around the universe. This book lit my imagination as a child and sparked my interest in science and travel, which have remained lifelong passions, both professionally and personally.
