Communications Intern (Aug. – Dec. 2017)

NASA / Johnson Space Center, Houston, TX

Worked in the Safety and Mission Assurance Division as a communications + writing intern.
After Hurricane Harvey hit Houston in August 2017, the community needed someone to document the stories of the heroes of the hurricane – and they chose me. I wrote 10 articles in total.
- I split my stories by the various divisions at JSC directly affected by Harvey, such as Astromaterials, Mission Control, and James Webb Space Telescope vacuum chamber testing, as well as 6 others. This series was near and dear to my heart because I was flooded out of my home when I interned there, completing the series with its 10th story – my story.
- Since I was in the Safety division, I also documented “Lessons Learned” from Harvey.
I interviewed nearly 20 NASA employees throughout the center to learn about their different experiences and documented them in the articles.
These articles are only available for viewing internally at NASA due to the sensitive nature of the stories.
