Retired Aerospace Engineer, RV owner/operator, and good daughter

Career of 42 years in the Aerospace industry combined with education (Bachelor of Science, Master of Science, Doctor of Philosophy, and Masters of Business Administration with an emphasis in Management of Technology) during all but the first year. Cooperative Engineering student from the University of Missouri – Rolla (now the Missouri University of Science and Technology) at NASA-Langely Research Center. Degrees from UMR, George Washington University, University of Kansas, and University of Phoenix. Experience at NASA, in private non-profits, in academia, and in industry.

Participated in Civil Air Patrol. Took flying lessons during junior high and high school. Soloed on my 16th birthday after failing my driver’s test. Earned my pilot’s license halfway through my 17th year.

New recreational vehicle (RV) owner – 40-foot 2005 Newmar Mountain Aire diesel pusher – since September 2, 2020. Talk about a learning curve and the need for fast learning!

Daughter and sister with a six-year stint as a parental caregiver. Lots more learning curve and lessons learned.
