What I like most about my job in vibration and acoustics is
that I help to develop predictions
to determine what the noise level is
for a payload during its launch on a rocket.
And that's very rewarding and very important, because we want
to be able to predict
if the spacecraft can survive the sound pressure level
that it sees during the rocket launch.
The materials that I use to specify a noise treatment
for protecting a spacecraft are also used
in everyday applications.
They're used to help lower the noise levels in libraries,
concert halls, and sound recording studios.
I would like my legacy to be that of one
of the very hard-working NASA team members
who played an important part
in developing NASA's new space launch system rocket,
the key vehicle that will enhance our presence in space,
around the Earth, to the surface of the Moon,
and into deep space, including to places like Mars.
