Nice to meet you!
I'm Kim Ellis Hayes, an award-winning Australian lawyer, scientist, and STEM professional who has traded her steelcap boots and hardhat for a spacesuit. After losing the job she loved during the Global Financial Crisis of 2008, Kim reinvented herself and her career. This led to her selection for training to conduct research onboard suborbital spacecraft in the United States, as well as creating strategic space industry workforce training and education.
Raised in rural Australia, Kim's humble beginnings instilled in her a belief in the power of education and the ability to create opportunities even in challenging circumstances. As a science, technology, innovation, and STEM speaker, Kim travels the world, promoting and supporting diversity in STEM, sharing innovative ways to build the future space workforce, and inspiring women to forge unique careers in the stars.
With space opening up to humanity in unprecedented ways, Kim Ellis Hayes is on a mission to make history. Her ultimate goal is to become the first Australian woman and lawyer to conduct research on a commercial suborbital spaceflight. As she reaches for the stars, stay tuned to witness her extraordinary journey!
LISTEN TO MY STORY
"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 "
