Because no two days are alike, and I have the honor of working alongside brilliant, awesome, and equally humble people, my role is very interesting.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>What is your educational background?<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>In 2002, I received my undergraduate degree, a bachelor\u2019s in business administration, from Midwestern State University in Wichita Falls, Texas. In 2008, I received my graduate degree, a master\u2019s in public administration, specializing in analysis and research, from Portland State University in Portland, Oregon. In 2019, I received another undergraduate degree, an associate of applied science in fashion design, from Parsons School of Design, School of Fashion, in New York, New York.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>Please tell us about your service in Volunteers in Service to America (VISTA).<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>I worked for a small business during my undergrad and continued to after graduation. I was born into a family of entrepreneurs, maternally and paternally, and small business is in my DNA. I was ready for something different, yearning to \u201cgive back.\u201d I applied to VISTA, the domestic version of the Peace Corps. I was ultimately offered a few different positions, opting for the West Coast, leaving Texas in 2003 to begin VISTA service. I worked on economic development initiatives, in California and Oregon at the county, city, and state levels of government. I served for three-and-a-half years and fell in love with public service. Thinking I would pursue an MBA post-service, I decided to study for a master\u2019s in public administration instead, studying full-time while working part-time as a graduate research assistant for a department chair.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>After graduating with my MPA, I returned to the private sector for a few years, and decided to take another leap of faith, answering the call of international service with the Peace Corps.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>Please tell us about your experience in the Peace Corps.<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>From 2011 to 2015, I served in the Peace Corps, and my post was Sarteneja, Belize, Central America. My primary project was Sarteneja Alliance for Conservation and Development (SACD), a non-governmental organization working on communications ranging from basic skills, such as teaching Belizeans how to use Google, to more advanced, working with the SACD Board of Directors on the development and implementation of the communications plan.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>My secondary project was helping 10 women found a women-owned, -operated, and -led sewing and handicraft cooperative, Las Sarteneje\u00f1as Cooperative. They make and sell indigenous artisan work and school uniforms for the local schools. The project won the 2013 Charlotte Daniels Champions of Change award, selected from world-wide projects, from World Connect, and the cooperative is still flourishing. These women inspire me to this day.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>After completing Peace Corps service, I stayed in-country working on projects, with the cooperative, as the technical business development manager, working for almost a year, post-service.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>And, in the summer of 2022, while working at GISS, I participated voluntarily in the Peace Corps Virtual Service Pilot Program (VSPP), in Namibia, to capitate Ngato Vocational Training Centre staff in developing a financially, viable business plan for the center, enabling greater sustainability, an increase in student enrollment capacity, and expansion of scholarship program for youth who come from traditionally marginalized and disadvantaged communities.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>What inspired you to attend Parsons School of Design?<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The women at the cooperative were a great catalyst for me. Since I was five years old, I wanted to be a fashion designer, and it was time. The opportunity was presenting itself and working with the women fueled the motivation. It was the education I always wanted and deserved, and decided to go for it.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>I returned to Texas in June of 2015 from Belize, and moved to New York City in July 2015. In August 2015, I started my position with the Small Business Administration Region II, New Jersey District Office, later transferring to the New York Metro District Office, and Parsons.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>It was a tall order to work full time, while adapting back to the United States, let alone coming from a rural, remote village of about 3,500, to a city of about 8.7 million, and attend Parsons part time which was rigorous and grueling, with little to no fashion design experience. I loved my time at Parsons, learning a lot about myself, the grit and the gumption, including how strong I really was and how to successfully manage priorities, attaining almost straight A\u2019s, graduating with top honors.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>What did you do for the Small Business Administration (SBA)?<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>From 2015 to 2020, I worked at SBA, in Region II District Offices located in Newark, New Jersey, and New York City in government contracting and business development. The position as a business opportunity specialist allowed me to continue working cross-culturally with socioeconomic groups through managing portfolios of socially and economically disadvantaged small businesses, participating in federal government contract certification programs such as 8(a), Women Owned Small Business (WOSB), HUBZone, Veteran Owned Small Business (VOSB) and other certifications offered, providing technical assistance on the development of comprehensive business plans including robust financial planning. I also served as a district office technical representative for the Women\u2019s Business Centers funded by SBA.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>Why did you come to GISS?<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>In May 2020, I landed at GISS. NASA has always been an aspiration for me. One of my heroes is Katherine Goble Johnson, a NASA mathematician and \u201cHidden Figure.\u201d One of my favorite quotes of hers is, \u201cI\u2019m always interested in learning something new.\u201d I hold this quote near and dear to my heart; growth and learning are two of my values. I included this quote and explained its importance on my NASA application. If you are always learning something new, you are continuously improving and growing.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>What do you do at GISS?<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Every day is different, and as mentioned earlier, no two days are alike. My major duties are program management and coordination of GISS strategic planning activities, oversight of GISS partnership agreements and procurement duties as the contracting officer representative (COR). This tends to involve problem-solving, working through and undoing complexities, establishing and refining policies and procedures, providing guidance and technical assistance, implementing innovative and creative approaches, and a lot of listening. I\u2019m also one of the founding members of the newly established GISS DEIA Committee and serve as a \u00a0vice co-chair for the Women\u2019s Employee Resource Group and Network (WEN) at NASA\u2019s Goddard Space Flight Center.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>What is the coolest part about working at GISS?<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Working at GISS is truly the coolest part, because again, NASA was an aspiration and achieving this, well sometimes I feel like pinching myself, ensuring its real. Also working directly and alongside Gavin Schmidt, the GISS director, and Ron Miller, the GISS deputy director, two incredibly brilliant and people-first leaders, who demonstrate everyday humility and humanity in leadership. For example, during the pandemic, when there was civil unrest across the country, Gavin told everyone at the weekly staff meeting that it was OK not to be OK, normalizing the taboo.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>What are you currently doing for the United Nations?<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The third goal of Peace Corps is to \u201chelp promote a better understanding of other peoples on the part of Americans,\u201d bringing back the country of service, to the United States. In March 2023, I became a representative for the Economic and Social Council (ECOSOC) of the United Nations. Five Returned Peace Corps Volunteers, are voluntarily consulting on addressing worldwide poverty and the 17 Sustainable Development Goals (SDG). My focus is SDG 5 Gender Equality, SDG 8 Decent Work and Economic Growth, and SDG 10 Reduced Inequalities. The consultancy involves attending UN meetings, summits, side events, briefings, and official ECOSOC written and oral statements.  <\/p>\n\n\n<div id=\"\" class=\"hds-media hds-module wp-block-image\"><div class=\"margin-left-auto margin-right-auto nasa-block-align-inline\"><div class=\"hds-media-wrapper margin-left-auto margin-right-auto\"><figure class=\"hds-media-inner hds-cover-wrapper hds-media-ratio-fit \"><a href=\"https:\/\/www.nasa.gov\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/03\/image001-1.jpg\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"1200\" height=\"1600\" src=\"https:\/\/www.nasa.gov\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/03\/image001-1.jpg?w=1200\" class=\"attachment-2048x2048 size-2048x2048\" alt=\"Jennifer Krottinger (right) stands with a man and a woman in front of a faux greenery background with the UN's SDG logo\" style=\"transform: scale(1); transform-origin: 48% 29%; object-position: 48% 29%; object-fit: cover;\" block_context=\"nasa-block\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.nasa.gov\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/03\/image001-1.jpg 1200w, https:\/\/www.nasa.gov\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/03\/image001-1.jpg?resize=225,300 225w, https:\/\/www.nasa.gov\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/03\/image001-1.jpg?resize=768,1024 768w, https:\/\/www.nasa.gov\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/03\/image001-1.jpg?resize=1152,1536 1152w, https:\/\/www.nasa.gov\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/03\/image001-1.jpg?resize=300,400 300w, https:\/\/www.nasa.gov\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/03\/image001-1.jpg?resize=450,600 450w, https:\/\/www.nasa.gov\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/03\/image001-1.jpg?resize=675,900 675w, https:\/\/www.nasa.gov\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/03\/image001-1.jpg?resize=900,1200 900w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 1200px) 100vw, 1200px\" \/><\/a><\/figure><figcaption class=\"hds-caption padding-y-2\"><div class=\"hds-caption-text p-sm margin-0\">“The third goal of Peace Corps is to ‘help promote a better understanding of other peoples on the part of Americans,’ bringing back the country of service, to the United States,” said Krottinger. “In March 2023, I became a representative for the Economic and Social Council (ECOSOC) of the United Nations.”<\/div><div class=\"hds-credits\">Courtesy of Jennifer Krottinger<\/div><\/figcaption><\/div><\/div><\/div>\n\n\n<p><strong>What do you do for fun?<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>In January 2023, I launched my own fashion brand of pr\u00eat-\u00e0-couture garments and accessories with a focus on creative endeavors. It\u2019s a refinement and a lifetime work-in-progress. I lose all track of time in fashion and the creative \u2013 from mood boards, to color theory, to fashion history, to textiles, to the business aspect. Right now, I love learning about colors and am currently reading \u201cThe Secret Life of Color,\u201d which is explaining all the different histories of color.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>In October 2022, I went to \u00c9cole Lesage in Paris to finally study embroidery, the Lun\u00e9ville hook technique, one of the techniques used in haute couture, and learn more about fashion and craftmanship through a lecture series. I was supposed to go in 2020, but the pandemic had other plans for us all.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>In October 2023, returned to Paris, to continue studies of one of the greats, Christian Dior, at the maison (house) on 30 Avenue Montaigne.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>Who are some of your favorite designers?<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>I am old school. Some of my favorites are Claire McCardell, Hubert de Givenchy, Cristobal Balenciaga, Norman Norell, and Isabel Toledo. Present day favorites include Virgil Abloh (Off White), Pierpaolo Piccioli (Valentino), Lee Alexander McQueen (Alexander McQueen), Clare Waight Keller and Maria Grazia Chiuri (Christian Dior). Well-made garment construction is appealing, and I design timeless, classic garments to last forever, having a smaller footprint on Earth.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>I\u2019m truly loving the slow fashion movement and Tissuni, based in France. A group of haute couture seamstresses from Valentino, Dior, Paris Opera, Saint Laurent, and others, banded together during the pandemic, making much needed facial masks from leftover fabric and are distributing them for free. The group has continued the movement creating zero waste couture designs.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>What is your motto?<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Living life with no regrets!<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>What is your \u201csix-word memoir?\u201d A six-word memoir describes something in just six words.<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>\u201cThe light you shed, will spread.\u201d \u2013 RBG<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><em><strong>By <a href=\"mailto:elizabeth.m.jarrell@nasa.gov\">Elizabeth M.
