Lifelong passion in the space program. I currently live 20 miles from Kennedy Space Center, work with NASA and Patrick's AFB and can see the space shuttle blast off from my backyard! Loved Space Camp as a child and highly recommend it!

Science has never been more interesting!

Camp made an impact, because I had experiences that changed my life. I loved learning about the lessons that I took immediately back to my classroom. I was lucky enough to attend Space Academy for teachers twice! My classroom has been positively and permanently impacted. My life has been forever changed.

It made me want to look into a career in electronics and robotics, when I become an adult.

I always wanted to do something in the aviation field. After 7 years of spending a week in Alabama, I went to Embry Riddle Aeronautical U. on an ROTC scholarship. I have a Masters of Aeronautical Science concentrating in Aviation Safety and Human Factors. It was due to my experiences at Camp that I chose a field that is mainly 'behind the scenes.' I enjoyed my time in 'mission control' over my other mission assignments and I feel the two are connected!
