Book KimQuick Bio
Nice to meet you! I'm Kim Ellis Hayes, an award-winning Australian/American lawyer, scientist, and STEM professional! My career transition is nothing short of a thrilling adventure—from wearing steelcap boots and a hardhat to embracing astronaut training and microgravity (Zero-G) research training!
My path to the Aerospace sector was anything but ordinary, marked by a rollercoaster of emotions, challenges, and pivotal moments. The turning point came when, after returning to the workforce and dedicating years as a research scientist at BHP-Billiton, I faced redundancy. I made a vow to redefine my professional identity, diving headfirst into the Aerospace field. This bold decision has taken me across the globe, from Australia to France, Germany, Canada, Ireland, the Netherlands and finally to the USA.
Whether I am working with a team to prepare research payloads for orbit, leading space education programs or working on important projects with the United Nations and World Economic Forum, I want to inspire your transformation.

"I invited Kim to share her unique international insight and experience as a speaker for the Space Congress which has been held each year at Cape Canaveral since the early 1960’s. I took over as NASA liaison for Space Congress in 2016 and wanted to add more international speakers. Kim’s presentations were exciting, interesting and engaging, and I highly recommend Kim as a speaker, panelist or moderator for your next conference, training or event- she is a true professional. (The Space Congress is a 3 day conference which brings together space industry experts and leaders and attracts an audience of around 1000 people including current and former Astronauts, NASA space program professionals and Commercial Space Industry leaders)."

"One of the most essential ingredients for a great Awards night is the keynote speaker – and Kim was the highlight of the night. The moment Kim took to the stage, the audience of more than 350 were enthralled. Her story is unique and inspiring, and it was delivered with such genuine energy and presence.
Kim’s illustrious career, taking her all the way to NASA is incredible and should be heard. She has the ability to connect with people in a powerful way – I would highly recommend Kim, and would be honoured to have her speak at future events. dantia.com.au "
