Job Experience

Specialist Operation Controller HP26/Teledyne Brown Engineering (NASA Contract)

September 2019 – Present Marshall Space Flight Center Huntsville, Al

In this role, my roles and responsibilities are centered on coordinating between multiple positions in the Real-time flight control room, as well as working directly with the Payload developers to produce products for the ISS Crew to operate. As a function of the job, I assisted in the development of all procedures, planning information, and Payload Self-Studies that are sent out to the Flight Control Team. Procedure development was a critical task for all operations that the ISS crew would complete for a particular payload, and the position works directly with the Payload developer and Crew in real-time to oversee the operations. This position serves as the real-time safety officer as well, so keeping the Crew and hardware safe is one of the top priorities. This role required heavy amounts of time management to meet all product submission and approval deadlines, as well as inter-organizational communication with subject matter experts to produce the best product. Soft skills and written communications were heavy priorities and there is a large and broad knowledge needed for individual Payloads that were being worked. This position was a focal point of the communication between the ISS program and the Payload Developers, as the Specialist Operations Controllers are considered Subject Matter Experts for the Payloads they work.

Branch Training Integration Lead for HP23/Teledyne Brown Engineering (NASA Contract)

January 2019 – September 2019 Marshall Space Flight Center Huntsville, Al

In this role, my roles and responsibilities are centered on coordinating training between multiple positions. As a function of the job, I assisted in the development and overhaul of multiple training courses used in both HP23 and universally throughout the larger organization. I worked closely with the Training Leads to help develop training courses that would be used to certify new employees, and also spent time coordinating updates to the Position Individual Training Plans (ITPs), to be sure that they are using the most current information in the training and certification of new employees. With a program focus on Soft Skills training, I was the lead on a project to redevelop and train existing personnel on topics of leadership, communication, team dynamics, conflict assessment, situational awareness and feedback culture. The professional development sessions were completed as a 16hr course and as lead, all content

and instructors were approved and certified using processes that I helped create. With a

background in education, I was primary in teaching and facilitating a wide variety of classes. These included classes for new hires, soft skills training, Emergency Training, Fundamentals of Training and other courses as needed. I have developed and reworked multiple courses for NASA, and was a primary in Fundamentals of Training development sessions that focused on teaching trainers how to properly develop new courses and properly create content that is relevant to the needs of the position.

Flight Controller/ Timeline Change Officer (Training Lead)

January 2018 – January 2019 Marshall Space Flight Center Huntsville, Al

As a position specific training lead, my main role was the training and certification of new hires. In this role, I was charged with reviewing and updating the Position Individual Training

Plan (ITPs), as well as the Core Training plan that is used by the four positions of the branch. These documents contained all courses and classes that a trainee must complete before certification, but had no real order or flow of how the information should be presented. I created a proposal that would move this paper/pencil document to an electronic platform, and would utilize Learning Management Systems (LMS) to create a flow that would both reduce cost and time of training, and would then allow trainees to move through training with less down-time. This in turn allows the training leads and management to keep more accurate records of training and will save the company money in the process of training. Management also began an initiative that created a focus on Proficiency, and how the proficiency of each employee could be tracked and maintained. I was asked to be primary in the development of Proficiency training for all certified Timeline Change Officers (TCOs). The development of these training plans created metrics and systems that had to be tracked over the course of 1-year and reported all progress to team leads and other management.

Flight Controller/ Timeline Change Officer

January 2016 – Present Marshall Space Flight Center Huntsville, Al

This position is a NASA flight control position that is a part of the International Space Station program for Science utilization. The primary function of the TCO is management of the astronaut’s day-to-day timeline. The TCO is responsible for making changes the week before the schedule is to be executed, and it requires the position to be involved in both the real-time environment as well as looking at schedules multiple days out. Changes to the day are coordinated between all centers, five in total, and once approved by everyone are implemented into the timeline, but the TCO is responsible for all NASA supported Science and initiates all changes to these activities. There is cross center communication that must happen, and the TCO must coordinate with a center in Houston, Germany, Japan and Moscow. There are some times that coordination will need to occur with planners from the Canadian Space Agency, but mostly the planners from the five major control centers work to make the necessary changes each day. Cross-cultural and effective communication through both verbal and electronic medium are critical, and being sure that all information is processed before decisions are made are essential to the position.

August 2014 – January 2016 Hopewell High School Huntersville, NC

My primary focus at Hopewell was managing and promoting the AP Physics courses. The hope was that the program would grow and promote students to pursue more challenging courses as the prepared for Post-Secondary education. The school had an Engineering Academy that had very few students taking standard or AP Physics, so the ideal was to create a course that would encourage students to take the course with the hope of promoting further study in post-secondary education. The ability to differentiate teaching strategies while creating an environment, which is conducive to various types of learners was critical, as the diversity of learners and reasons for taking the course. I also taught 9th grade standard Earth and Environmental Sciences where I focused on creating a passion for excellence and quality, while efficiently executing and managing multiple tasks at once and managing classroom behavior. For all classes, I created, established and was required to enforce rules for behavior and had multiple instances where classroom management was necessary to maintain a constructive and safe learning environment.

Teacher

August 2012 – July 2013 Trinity Christian School Opelika, AL

Trinity was a private school based in rural Alabama, so the demands on the teacher were much higher than in other schools that I have taught. I was required to teach five different courses: 8th Grade Physical Science and Algebra 1, 9th Grade Geometry, 10th Grade Biology, 11th Grade Chemistry, and while most of the classes were small with under 10 students, the requirements for lesson planning and keeping each day organized was extremely intense and required most of my daily attention. With a focus on Christian values in education, there was still a huge need for differentiation as it was a much more intimate level of instruction. It was much easier to identify the various learning styles, but with the amount of courses that had to be prepped and planned, the focus of differentiation had to be the driver of development. Teaching such a diverse schedule and such different ages of students required a passion for excellence and quality, but I was forced to efficiently execute and manage multiple tasks at once while managing classroom behavior. I had to create, establish and enforce rules for behavior and procedures for maintaining a learning conducive environment, but I had to create sets of rules for behavior that matched the maturity of the students in the room. Using this type of strategy was difficult to maintain, but I felt was the most effective in how to manage 12 and 13 year olds in one class, then transitioning to 17 and 18 years olds in the next hour.

August 2009-2011 Sparkman High School Harvest, AL

Sparkman is a large 7A High School in Alabama that had around over 2000 students in grades 10-12. At Sparkman I taught Mixed Grades: Introduction to Engineering Design (Solid works), Mixed Grades: Principles of Physics (Algebra-based), Mixed Grades: Physics and Mechanics (Algebra 2/Trig based), and 10th and 11th Grade: Fundamentals of Chemistry. For all classes, I created, established and was required to enforce rules for behavior and had multiple instances where classroom management was necessary to maintain a constructive and safe learning environment. The ability to differentiate teaching strategies while creating an environment, which is conducive to various types of learners was critical, as the diversity of learners and reasons for taking the course.

learning conducive environment, but I had to create sets of rules for behavior that matched the maturity of the students in the room. Some courses required heavier instruction techniques, but others required project-based instruction, and the differentiation techniques to transition from Engineering courses to strict Science courses was a central focus and idea that I had to perform as a first year educator. I also had a steep learning curve in learning how to lesson plan and create the proper environment for learning, but I was able to rely on mentors and other experienced educators to help me learn and navigate this new environment.
