It's been a hard road to Harvard University for Felicity Powell.
She is in the US on a Fulbright scholarship doing a Masters in Education Leadership, Organisations, and Entrepreneurship.
Earlier this year she had brain tumour surgery after battling the health system for two years to get to that point.
Felicity says now, life is great, after some really difficult obstacles, including her dream job at Rocket Lab being disestablished.
A keen runner, while awaiting surgery she wasn't able to exercise, but a couple of months ago she ran a marathon.
