Jaclyn Wiley graduated from Embry-Riddle Aeronautical University with a degree in Spaceflight Operations with a specialization in Space Policy and Operations. She minored in Aerospace Life Sciences, Business Administration, Human Factors Psychology, International Relations and Occupational Safety. Her passion for space was ignited as a child when she would run out to her front yard and watch launches from Kennedy Space Center climb over the Florida sky.

Jaclyn was able to explore different aspects of her passion for space during her three NASA internships, with the Hubble Space Telescope Project Group, the Commercial Spaceflight Development Division, and the Commercial Crew Program. While at NASA, Jaclyn supported ground and mission operations, program control and integration, and scientific communications efforts.

Jaclyn also led multiple research projects, two of which she presented at the 68th and 69th International Astronautical Congresses. Her research ranged in topic from the manufacture of fragile payloads on orbital platforms to novel ways to increase the efficiency of post-consumer on-orbit assets.

While a student at Embry-Riddle, Jaclyn served the student body as the Editor-in-Chief of the Embry-Riddle Avion Newspaper and as a member of the Student Government Association Executive Board. Further, she was a Digital Literacies Tutor at the Embry-Riddle Digital Studio, teaching students how to communicate more effectively via digital means, like videos, audio recordings, and slide presentations. She also used her extensive video editing and media production experience to hold multiple content creation and editing positions.

As a Brooke Owens Fellow, Jaclyn supported Bryce Space and Technology in Washington, DC and now works for them full-time as Space Technology Data Analyst.
