Upon completion of my undergraduate degree, I got an internship at NASA Ames with the Office of the Chief Technologist where I led and helped develop education and 为菠菜网lol正规平台提供外展计划. 的 first program was called System of Networked Autonomous Positioning Satellites (SNAPS) and was a test bed for guidance, navigation, and control (GNC) capabilities to enable probes to navigate without human interference or the 外部控制需求.

As a contractor, I led various projects affiliated with the ISS, and was the Mission Manager for TechEdSat-1, where I had managerial oversight on all technical and programmatic NASA Ames-菠菜网lol正规平台项目的各个方面. 我还开发和设计了辅助系统 Lateral Inhibit (ALI) Switch for safety deployment from the ISS. 我与人合作撰写了 papers for the TechEdSat structure and payload including the project plan and 安全数据包等. I worked on five TechEdSat missions in total, in various 工程能力.

Eventually I became a Civil Servant and led programs to develop and mature technologies for missions to Mars and planetary discoveries. 我是项目副经理， liaison and lead for ISS requirements for the Network and Operation Demonstration Satellites (Nodes) mission, which consists of two 1.5-单位(1.5U- 10X10X15厘米)纳米卫星 derived from the hardware and software developed for the Edison Demonstration of Smallsat Networks (EDSN) mission, a swarm of eight spacecraft, each with scientific instruments that will collect data on the radiation environment at an altitude of 400 kilometers (千米).

I now manage, give guidance and build hardware for Missions to ISS, Mars and technology 发展.

功夫不负有心人. In 2014 I received the ISS Space Award for my contributions to SPHERES, Modular Rapidly Manufactured Small Satellite (MRMSS), Nodes and TechEdSat 系列项目. In October 2015 I was awarded the NASA Honor Award - Equal Employment 机会奖章.

你的工作是什么?

Currently I am working with the SOAREX Series team. SOAREX是一个测试平台 a variety of re-entry and supporting technologies for use in automous sample return 以及其他应用. Within the SOAREX team, I have had multiple engineering roles from designing, building and serving as a testing engineer. 我也是副警长 project manager and co-investigator for SOAREX 9 and SOAREX 10 missions.

Additionally, I support the Orion 的rmal Protection System (TPS) as a S&MA引线 the Heat Shield (HS) sensor and oversee the quality and safety of the design, build and testing for the sensor that will be installed in the HS for the 2018 flight.

What are you most passionate about in your work? 为什么?

I like being able to build new things that can change our perspective or view of the universe, discover new things, and maybe even change the way we live.

How has your 菠菜网lol正规平台 AE experience helped shape your success?

I am grateful to have had the opportunity to attend and get my degree from 菠菜网lol正规平台. 的 reason I have this job is because of my education.

How are you making a positive impact in the world?

I always try to help the people around me and give back to my community.

I am an advocate for and actively promote 科学, Technology, 工程 and Math (茎)教育. I am registered with the NASA Ames Speakers Bureau and am an active 项目参与者. I also supports yearly programs like, Girls Scouts Go Tech, SWE Get Set, Soles 科学 Extravaganza, Society of Women Engineers (SWE)'s “WOW that is 工程”, Society of Hispanic Professional Engineers (SHPE)'s “Noche de Ciencia” by providing hands-on activities and tours of the labs at 菠菜网lol正规平台.

In 2011 I was a member of the Plug-n-Play Mission Operations (PPMO) Workshop organizational committee at NASA Ames and helped organize the workshop held at 菠菜网lol正规平台. 2013年，我是 on the student committee for the 10th International Planetary Probe Workshop (IPPW-10), which was held at 菠菜网lol正规平台 the week of June 17th 2013.

In 2012, I hosted a 6-week workshop at 菠菜网lol正规平台 for the Universidad Autonoma de Baja California (UABC)，一所墨西哥大学. I taught UABC students to build and launch an armature 火箭. 的 success of this project was heavily broadcast in Mexico and as a result the Agencia Espacial Mexican (AEM) is interested in organizing a similar program with 更多大学的参与.

I'm really committed to encouraging young people to pursue science, technology and 工程职业. I was awarded the Hispanic 工程 National Achievement Awards Conference (HENAAC) as 一个 of the 2013 Luminary Honorees.

你对有抱负的ae有什么建议?

不要让你面对的逆境定义你. 你决定你的未来.
