>> One of my primary job functions is
to protect NASA's use of the electromagnetic spectrum.
NASA uses the electromagnetic spectrum in everything
from its daily operations to all of its space-based operations.
So, we have to work together and to coordinate to ensure
that NASA can meet its mission objectives both today
and in the future.
The most rewarding aspect of my work is getting to go
on all this international travel and really meet individuals
from other space agencies and satellite operators.
And get to experience all the cultural differences
and how those play into the spectrum-related decisions.
And work together with those individuals
so that we can ensure equitable sharing
of the spectrum for everyone.
NASA's really known as an honest broker in the spectrum world.
We let the math speak for itself.
We lead with that in all of our technical studies,
and we don't let politics
or economics influence our technical studies.
And that's a reputation that I really want to carry forward
with me throughout my entire career, and a legacy
that I would like to leave behind when I retire.
