When I was in third grade, the shuttle launch of STS-3 really sparked a fire in me. At that moment, I said, that’s what I want to be a part of. When Challenger happened, I was in junior high school, and it made me think that maybe I didn’t want to do that anymore, but something still smoldered inside. I saved a lot of babysitting money and sent myself to Space Camp when I was sixteen. Space Camp was fabulous because it helped me figure out how to get involved at NASA. That’s when I began to explore engineering as a potential career and major at school.
I’m currently on rotation to the Commercial Crew Program. I felt it was important to learn about NASA’s new way of doing business, and I think this is how we’re going to continue to do things in the future. I also wanted to learn about Dragon and CST-100 and be part of regaining the capability to launch our crew from U.S. soil again.
