The challenge of growing up hearing impaired in a hearing world instilled and inspired Nicole DelVesco rather than defeating her.
"As an accountant at Kennedy, my job involves working with cost data from our budget analysts and analyzing and processing the data into our accounting system. Im also the Primary Collection Agent for Kennedy, which means that I receive all incoming checks, assign receipts to them, and make weekly deposits. Ive also had the chance to learn other job areas in my branch that will enable me to advance in the organization.
"Ive worked on the Combined Federal Campaign as the co-treasurer. I also helped design the web page for the campaign, and that was exciting.
"Ive met and worked with many people in the various parts of my job. Ive also had the opportunity to serve on several committees and organizations. NASA has allowed me to gain experience in accounting and also to increase my self-confidence and leadership abilities." |
