>> Here at NASA Glenn Research Center, I am the Chief Safety
and Mission Assurance Officer for the Space Communications
and Navigation Project Office.
And that means that I help coordinate the activities
that we need to do and the personnel required to do them
from a safety and mission assurance standpoint.
I've worked at NASA for almost 15 years.
And almost on a daily basis, I'm humbled by situations
that I'm put in where I can learn from my behaviors.
Learn how to communicate better.
Learn how to be more professional.
So when we're not afraid to show our successes in front of people
and to show our failures, we can all learn from each other.
As far as challenges that I face on a daily basis,
I mean, they're numerous.
There are big ones, project related.
And there are some that are personal related.
Just getting along with people.
And it's really taking a step back
and assessing the situation.
And not overreacting.
And I think that's the hardest part.
And I think we continue to learn that throughout our careers.
So navigating slowly and meticulously through challenges
and taking a step back really helps me a lot.
