HUNTSVILLE, Ala., April 23, 2021 /PRNewswire/ Susan Whitfield describes her childhood as idyllic. She grew up in Killen, Alabama, before the tiny town in the state s northwest corner had a red light and spent her summers swimming in a creek.
Growing up, the possibility of working for a place like NASA never crossed her mind. Neither of her parents graduated from high school, and no one in her family had finished college. Those barriers couldn t stop Whitfield, who went on to be high school valedictorian, earn a college degree, and work for the U.S. Army before beginning a three-decade career with NASA.
