TGOW Podcast #39_ Dana Bolles, NASA Engineer

Dana Bolles began her 24-year career with NASA in Florida, at the world’s only spaceport, the Kennedy Space Center (KSC). The first 13 years of her career were spent in regulatory compliance, from payload safety to environmental protection, and she worked at 3 different NASA centers: Kennedy Space Center, Goddard Space Flight Center, and Ames Research Center. Dana’s diverse work experience has given her an appreciation not only for the programs and projects side of NASA, but also for the mission support functions.

Her current role has her working in science communication for exploring life beyond Earth. She is responsible for a web resource to help others learn about the search and also developing a roadmap for NASA to use in preparation for any potential future announcements.

In addition to her official duties, Dana volunteers for employee resource groups (ERGs) for women, people with disabilities, and LGBT communities. She is a firm believer of the value of diversity and is committed to raising awareness, especially of the unique challenges people with disabilities face in their daily lives.
