Project Control Specialist
Ms. Annie Delgado-Holton started
her career at NASA Glenn Research Center (GRC) in 2000 as
an Executive Support Assistant to the Aeronautics Directorate.
In this capacity her responsibilities included a wide variety
of logistical, organizational, and administrative functions.
Consequentially, she formerly served as a member of the Executive
Assistant's Leadership Team (EALT), and newsletter editor
for the Business Professional Women chapter at NASA GRC.
In 2003, Ms. Delgado-Holton
successfully participated in NASA's STEP Upward Mobility Program
to pursue a career change as a Project Control Specialist
(responsible for the budget planning and analysis of a major
portion of a program &/or project) for which she was selected.
She is currently a member of the Project Control Office staff
providing support to the Exploration Systems Division (ESD).
In this role she evaluates financial trends and determines
compliance with project guidance. She also tracks and analyzes
the program or project status at selected points of time in
the future (example: end of fiscal year) and adjust the projected
status as required to meet but not exceed assigned allowances.
In 1996, Ms. Delgado-Holton
started her career at GRC as a Support Service Contractor
and supported the desktop deployment and configuration of
computing throughout the lab by performing administrative
tasks, analyzing problem areas, and coordinating the necessary
personnel and corrective action. Ms. Delgado-Holton has made
major contributions in support of various Center education
and outreach initiatives. As a former Chair of the Hispanic
Advisory Council (HAC) supporting the Office of Equal Opportunity
Programs (OEOP), she led the coordination of the cultural
annual Hispanic Heritage observance event and other educational
activities sponsored by HAC. She launched the first "Esperanza
Community Dialogue" to bring forth to the Center Esperanza
scholarship recipients and their parents to learn and discuss
the great opportunities offered at NASA GRC. Esperanza
is a non-profit organization in the Cleveland area, whose
main goal is to provide students with the necessary resources
to excel in their college careers.
She has worked with the OEOP conducting interviews, mentoring, and supporting conference program activities. She has further supported NASA GRC's Education/Outreach initiative by coordinating and obtaining the resources needed to translate storyboard materials into Spanish of Johnny's Airport Adventure story and lesson plans.
As member of LATINA, she advocated for the inclusion of a Hispanic woman into the Ohio's Women's Hall of Fame. Also facilitated coordination efforts and contributed in the planning of LATINA "Extraordinary Women in Science and Education" luncheon event held at the Great Lakes Science Center.
Ms. Delgado-Holton was born in Cleveland, Ohio and raised in Puerto Rico. Her parents returned to Cleveland, Ohio when she was 12 years old along with her twin sister and two brothers.
"The experience of learning a new language
and culture was a challenging time. However, the strength
and determination of her parents to move to a new country
proved to have advantages of an enriched environment. Hence,
I celebrate my Hispanic heritage by inspiring others to share,
participate, and advocate while empowering them to succeed
in their personal and professional life."
She previously attended Kent State University and completed Business Management courses at Myers University, including NASA training courses. She is highly motivated to develop her personal growth and advance her career path demonstrating considerable initiative, enthusiasm, and innovativeness since assuming her civil service position. She has earned several performance awards for her exemplary contributions.
