“I feel that my larger purpose at NASA, which I’ve felt since I came on as an intern, is to leave NASA a better place than I found it. I know there are so many people who are just like myself, who have had this big, huge dream of being at NASA from some sort of spark in their childhood.
“I have a privilege as a well-spoken, affable, femme, white woman and I’m compelled to use this privilege for good — to advocate for others. I feel like this dream should be achievable for anyone who has the merit to be here without wondering ‘Are my needs going [to] be met?’ Or, ‘If I’m a part of a particular community, will I be faced with any sort of backlash because of the culture?’
“As an Agency, we’re trying to do incredibly hard things moving forward. And going forward, I choose to use the privilege of being at HQ and being very close to leadership as a vessel for progress to help ensure we get closer to everybody having the right to achieve their dream here.”

“自从我作为实习生加入NASA以来，我就感觉自己在NASA的更宏大的使命就是让NASA变得更好。我知道有很多人都像我一样，小时候受到某种启发，怀揣着加入NASA的伟大梦想。
“作为一名谈吐得体、和蔼可亲、女性且白人身份的幸运儿，我深感有责任用这个特权为善——为他人发声。我觉得，任何有资格来到这里的人，都应该能够梦想成真，而无需担忧‘我的需求能否得到满足？’或‘如果我属于某个特定社群，我会不会因为文化差异而遭受反对？’
“作为一个机构，我们正努力克服重重困难向前发展。在未来，我选择利用身在总部且接近领导层的特权，作为推动进步的载体，以确保我们让每个人都有权在这里实现梦想。”
