As you may know, NASA has strategically positioned a fleet of spacecraft throughout our heliosphere, each with a unique purpose.
As the Program Executive in the NASA Heliophysics Division, I oversee the portfolio of operating missions the breadth of humanity’s physical existence in the universe from Parker Solar Probe, the closest manmade object to the sun and Voyager, the furthest man made object from the sun. These and all heliophysics operating missions serve to delve into the nature of the Sun and its profound influence on the very fabric of space.
Not only am I passionate about expanding humanity’s touch in the universe but also physical presence. My journey at NASA started in the world of rocket science, propelling humans to live and work in space with the Space Shuttle Program and grew to propel humanity further in the universe via the Space Launch System, part of the Artemis Program.
The bridge between rocket science and space science was an internship with nobel laureate, Professor Sam Ting supporting the Alpha Magnetic Spectrometer onboard the Inernational Space Station.
This incredible journey through space exploration, rocket science, and particle physics continues to be a remarkable adventure, and I'm excited to share more with you.
