She’s Diana Trujillo, one of the flight directors for ARTEMIS II.
She was previously in charge of rover operations on Mars.
She is from my hometown, Cali in Colombia. She is one of those immigrants who arrived in the US with nothing and now holds senior operational responsibilities on space missions
