Secretary for DFRC Director
Carmen Arevalo was born in Tijuana,
Mexico and moved to the United States when she was 16 years
old. She attended college at Montgomery College in Washington,
D.C. to studied business administration. While she was in
D.C., she worked for the government at the National Weather
Service.
She started her career at NASA
in 1991 working in the Human Resources office where she was
in charge of vacancy announcements. Hence, she was responsible
for letting people know what jobs were available at NASA.
Currently, she is the secretary
for Dryden's Center Director - the person who is "first
in command" of all of NASA Dryden! Her days are very
hectic, and every day is different. The person she works for
travels a great deal and hosts many meetings and conferences
with very important people from all around the world. Part
of her job is to make the traveling VIPs feel welcome. She
helps to arrange these important meetings to make sure everything
functions smoothly.
Ms. Arevalo has worked on interesting
projects where her language skills in both English and Spanish
have been used. She has been asked to translate materials
for the center from Spanish to English, and has narrated a
video tour of NASA Dryden in Spanish. In addition, she has
on many occasions to served as a translator. She has earned
a NASA Award for her outstanding efforts. Her future goals
include becoming an assistant to a project manager or a technical
project manager.
Her profile and archived web
chats are also featured on NASA
Quest website.
