 Spirited by her uncle's work with NASA in the early days through NASA's Marshall Space Flight Center, Ginny's involvement with astronomy and space exploration began in 1995 when she took a continuing education astronomy course at Emory University's Evening at Emory program lead by Georgia Tech Research Institute astronomer Dr. Jim Sowell.
Afterward, she began volunteering her time as an observatory assistant at Fernbank Science Center under the mentorship of astronomer Dr. Richard Williamon. Additionally, she served as an officer with the Atlanta Astronomy Club from 1996-1998. A former astronomy laboratory instructor at Georgia State University, she completed her interdisciplinary studies program focusing on Planetary Science and Communications in May, 2002 - a curriculum she devised herself.
Her favorite SSA events involve working with kids-of-all-ages.
Professionally, Ginny serves as an ESOL instructor to Somali refugee women as well as an Administrative Assistant to the Jewish Family and Career Services in Atlanta.
