Aerospace engineering degree, University of Colorado, Master’s Georgia Tech and most recently a PhD from Colorado. She is currently conducting water reuse research at the Asian Institute of Technology in Bangkok on a Fulbright Fellowship. As a volunteer with EWB Sara brought the first Grant project to Bill Davis, a water project in San Salvador that Humble Rotary Club headed up. This relationship with Sara ultimately played a role in the development of over $1 million in projects that ultimately happened.
Sara was one of 6,000 applicants in the last round of astronaut applications and made it to the final 160. NASA has announced a new call for astronauts and Sara has reapplied and is one of 18,300 applicants for 8-16 astronaut positions.
