Nice to meet you!

I'm Heather and if you've ever met me, you know how space obsessed I am. I also love to read everything I get my hands on (nonfiction, fiction, scientific articles...) and write in every spare second. When I'm not doing these things, I work as a Client Service Manager in financial technology and at the Moonshot Museum in Pittsburgh.

Why Space?

The mysteries of the universe have always fascinated me. Growing up, I didn't think it would be possible to have a career in the space industry, so I left that dream behind. Now, at my part-time job at Moonshot Museum, I aspire to spark curiosity and imagination in children and adults, and help the world foster a deeper appreciation for the wonders of the cosmos.

What I do best

I love being a positive force on a team and working with others toward a common goal. (I'm usually the one planning the office holiday party or coordinating the book club.)

O1. Team Player
O2. Project Management

I've always been a meticulous planner. Managing projects comes second nature to me. I thrive for deadlines. Put me in coach!

O3. Public Speaking

I'm not afraid to speak in front of large groups or be asked questions. Put me on the spot!

O4. Motivation

I don't shy away from doing the hard work. When things get tough, I get tougher.

O5. Client Relationship Management

I enjoy building partnerships with the clients I serve through empathy and positivity. My clients are some of the most amazing people.

O6. Diverse Creative Interests

I've always been a creative person. Whether it's writing, reading, or video games - I'm in! My hobbies are my passions, and they make me a better employee.

What Am I Working on Now? (Last updated January 2024)

Project Management: I'm taking on new projects in my professional roles and preparing to take the CAPM exam at a future date.

Non-Profit Management: Working at non-profits is my passion. I've been taking online courses in non-profit management, and networking with professionals around the United States to learn all I can.

Game Development: While it's just a hobby, I'm working on preparing for my second game jam this year.

Python: While I know basic Python from college, I'm getting back into it and stretching those muscles. I'm currently taking an online course.
