Who I am - words that describe me:
I am discriminating - It's what I use to resolve the various conflicts I am faced with on a daily basis. Not much gets by me without my questioning it, because I need to allocate a place and system for everything. I am perpetually in the assessment and preparation stages of making adjustments.

I am analytical - My process of judgment involves analyzing everything down to the last detail before taking action.

I am calm - Even though I am a coordinator I feel that everything happens for a reason and I can't control every detail around me. That in no way stops me from trying, though.

I am outgoing - I am in no way the 'Cheerleader' type, but I generally don't have trouble fitting in where ever I go.

How I confront challenges:
(This may not match a Challenge theme, but it is what I live by) When things go wrong, I don't panic, I just handle it. You can't sweat the small stuff-because it's all small stuff!

Embrace Challenge - To me, life would be boring without constant challenges. Facing daily challenges helps me to grow, not only in my career, but in life.

My career:
I am a project coordinator in every sense of the word. I not only keep track of the daily operations of the MARS [Mission to America's Remarkable Students] Outreach Program on KSC, but I am the web master for it's upcoming web page and the group graphics artist. I am also the payload coordinator for the KSC-MARS payload to be sent up in May 1999.

What I like best about my career:
I love the people I work with. The MARS program here at KSC has the best group of people I have ever had the pleasure of working with

Influences:
My Grandmother, Evelyn Wann was an influential person in my life. Although she died when I was only 10 years old, she shared her lifetime of wisdom with me in that short time. She taught me giving and graciousness, friendship and forgiveness, love and loyalty.

Future goals:
I would like to go back to school and go all the way through for my masters degree in marketing.

Personal information:
I've been married for 4 years and have no children I do have one dog, who is like my child; a basset hound named 'Sir Isaac Newton's Law of Gravity' (Newton for short).

I was born and raised in and around the Shuttle Program on Vandenberg AFB, California. I am the Vice President of Administration for the Space Coast Network of Executive Women. I was the first women to be the editor of an international hunting and fishing magazine - the SNI Sportsmen out of Melbourne, FL.
