Nicole Kerley

Energetic and adaptable communications professional with 5 years of experience driving internal and external messaging in labor relations environments. Skilled in media relations, basic understanding or proficiency in writing, graphic design, photo/video editing, web design, and media outreach, crisis communications, and team development, with a strong foundation in interpersonal communication and staff education. Proven ability to lead cross-functional collaboration, support high-impact projects, and enhance organizational communication through strategic planning and performance improvement initiatives. Adept in both written and verbal communication, with fluency in Microsoft Office and Google Workspace. Notably proposed a scientifically grounded, budget-conscious mock mission for lunar analysis, demonstrating critical thinking, technical acumen, and the ability to distill complex ideas for diverse audiences. Motivated to bring a blend of strategic insight and communication expertise to a leadership role in advancing organizational goals to the International Union, United Automobile, Aerospace and Agricultural Implement Workers of America's pioneering projects.

Experienced with managing comprehensive communication strategies, ensuring cohesive messaging across platforms. Utilizes in-depth knowledge of media relations to enhance organizational reputation. Track record of leveraging content development and crisis communication skills to drive successful outcomes.

Proposed and scientifically supported a mock-mission which provided a detailed survey numerically modeled by blended mixing dynamics (collision finite element methods, mass advection, compaction and ballistic ejecta) for a range of various particle sizes and simulated SBA and Tycho impactors. These models would have been extrapolated for the entire surface of the Moon; permitting a quantifiable water budget for this terrestrial body, and, surprisingly, would lend insight into the thermal evolution of the solar system and terrestrial body habitability based upon total water budget. This mission was designed with a total budget of ten million dollars and the presentation of these COTS for such a significant objective has been noted by leads developing CLOC-SAT (LRO’s potential replacement Orbiter).

Programmatic and Technical Support - Excelled in courses breaking down the many uses for Python, including utilizing Python’s Pyraf programming, with years of in-house practice applying the National Optical Astronomy Observatory’s IRAF to reduce data taken from University of Colorado’s Sommers-Bausch Observatory and virtually taken through Apache Point Observatory’s 0.5 meter ARCSAT and 3.5m ARC telescopes in New Mexico.

Computer-Aided Design – Proficient in SolidWorks creating 3D models of parts for articulating mechanical design aspect in engineering projects.

Hands-On Experience – Thorough understanding of electronic assembly technical skills including

●Experience in fabrication electronic soldering and testing activities

● Outstanding operational familiarity with soldering irons hand tools and electrical test and precision measuring instruments

● Superior knowledge of health and environmental rules and regulations

● High skills in working with team members in a productive manner
