1
00:00:04,070 --> 00:00:03,189
i actually didn't know

2
00:00:07,190 --> 00:00:04,080
what

3
00:00:09,350 --> 00:00:07,200
an engineer really was until i was about

4
00:00:12,150 --> 00:00:09,360
13 years old i had always been

5
00:00:14,230 --> 00:00:12,160
interested in space planets you know our

6
00:00:17,189 --> 00:00:14,240
solar system and stars

7
00:00:19,990 --> 00:00:17,199
and i was also interested in design so

8
00:00:22,870 --> 00:00:20,000
then i watched the movie apollo 13 and i

9
00:00:25,670 --> 00:00:22,880
learned what aerospace engineering was

10
00:00:28,310 --> 00:00:25,680
and how that was a beautiful marriage

11
00:00:31,269 --> 00:00:28,320
of my love of space and my love of

12
00:00:32,310 --> 00:00:31,279
design and then i had something to shoot

13
00:00:38,709 --> 00:00:32,320
for

14
00:00:44,150 --> 00:00:40,950
so i'm the deputy payload systems

15
00:00:45,750 --> 00:00:44,160
engineer on wfirst at goddard so my

16
00:00:48,470 --> 00:00:45,760
education background i went to embry

17
00:00:50,470 --> 00:00:48,480
riddle aeronautical university and i got

18
00:00:53,990 --> 00:00:50,480
my bachelor's in aerospace engineering

19
00:00:56,150 --> 00:00:54,000
then i went on to grad school at uva and

20
00:00:59,189 --> 00:00:56,160
got a masters in aerospace and

21
00:01:00,310 --> 00:00:59,199
mechanical engineering before all of

22
00:01:01,110 --> 00:01:00,320
that

23
00:02:20,949 --> 00:01:01,120
i

24
00:02:24,150 --> 00:02:20,959
together we have a very capable hard

25
00:02:27,190 --> 00:02:24,160
working team and i crave that highly

26
00:02:29,270 --> 00:02:27,200
collaborative environment where even as

27
00:02:31,430 --> 00:02:29,280
issues crop up you know that you can

28
00:02:34,390 --> 00:02:31,440
pull your team together and find the
