1
00:00:16,340 --> 00:00:14,720
my first assignment at NASA as a

2
00:00:19,189 --> 00:00:16,350
resources analyst was working on the

3
00:00:22,090 --> 00:00:19,199
James Webb Space Telescope subsystem

4
00:00:24,710 --> 00:00:22,100
called the micro shutter sub-assembly

5
00:00:26,240 --> 00:00:24,720
ended up in NASA place where I always

6
00:00:28,880 --> 00:00:26,250
wanted to work but I didn't particularly

7
00:00:32,510 --> 00:00:28,890
know at the time that business people

8
00:00:33,940 --> 00:00:32,520
also had a role at NASA as a child I was

9
00:00:36,319 --> 00:00:33,950
always interested in space exploration

10
00:00:38,119 --> 00:00:36,329
particularly NASA all of my science

11
00:00:40,880 --> 00:00:38,129
projects at school were things related

12
00:00:43,310 --> 00:00:40,890
to space science when I got to high

13
00:00:45,139 --> 00:00:43,320
school I focused more on business more

14
00:00:46,940 --> 00:00:45,149
on accounting and I found that my

15
00:00:48,860 --> 00:00:46,950
interest were more aligned with the

16
00:00:50,600 --> 00:00:48,870
business administration took me a while

17
00:00:52,100 --> 00:00:50,610
to figure out what I wanted to do but

18
00:00:54,979 --> 00:00:52,110
once I did figure out what I wanted to

19
00:00:57,290 --> 00:00:54,989
do it was like clockwork I always liked

20
00:01:00,349 --> 00:00:57,300
numbers I always like to gradually move

21
00:01:02,450 --> 00:01:00,359
up what excites me most about dumb about

22
00:01:04,219 --> 00:01:02,460
my job is the level of responsibility

23
00:01:07,130 --> 00:01:04,229
that I have being responsible for a

24
00:01:09,230 --> 00:01:07,140
whole lot of money initially when I

25
00:01:11,179 --> 00:01:09,240
started I gradually kind of moved up by

26
00:01:13,609 --> 00:01:11,189
started with a little multi-million

27
00:01:16,429 --> 00:01:13,619
dollar budget and as i continue to learn

28
00:01:19,039 --> 00:01:16,439
more I got more responsibility you don't

29
00:01:21,070 --> 00:01:19,049
have to be a technical expert or an

30
00:01:23,660 --> 00:01:21,080
engineer or scientist to work for NASA

31
00:01:26,359 --> 00:01:23,670
I'm working in business and I love

32
00:01:27,890 --> 00:01:26,369
working here we are part of the team

33
00:01:30,260 --> 00:01:27,900
just as much as a scientist or an

34
00:01:32,660 --> 00:01:30,270
engineer and you have your place at
