What I enjoy most about my job is the ability
to learn new things.
In my current role as a project manager for Kilopower,
we're looking at developing a power system
that uses nuclear technology that has the potential
of powering habitats for astronauts in space.
This has been a learning curve for me and a challenge,
but it's this opportunity to get away from my comfort zone
that gets me up every morning and coming into work.
In my previous project,
I was the lead engineer developing a battery system
that was integrated into an electrified aircraft.
These help people in their everyday life
because it gives them an aircraft that has the potential
to have low carbon emission and low noise, making their flights
and their everyday life more comfortable.
To work here at NASA is a challenge,
but having the opportunity to mentor a student and talk
to them and tell them how to get here
and making their process a little bit easier,
it would be something -- a great achievement for me.
