An Oklahoma student's experiences in NASA and international space programs...
I've worked at NASA JSC, Ames, MSFC, and GRC. I've been involved with ISU, Space Generation, Next Generation Exploration Conference, and more; I've mentored for Texas Aerospace Scholars and Intl Space School and helped with NASA's Reduced Gravity Flight program. Basically, I love the idea of space exploration, and I'm dedicating my career to sharing that passion.
