Abstract:  Everyone\'s journey is unique and filled with big and small obstacles. Dr. Renee Horton has experienced obstacles and still has succeeded in pursuing her dream. The talk, You Can Have your Dream, travels Renee’s path through failures, small success, obstacles, disappointments and finally landing in her dream job. Renee currently serves as the Metallic/Weld Engineer for NASA Space Launch System (SLS) in New Orleans, LA, which comes full circle after dreaming as a child on working for NASA as an astronaut. She may not be an astronaut, but she helps put them into space. Renee believes that if you find your intersection between your talent and your passion, you find your true happiness; this talk will highlight her dissertation studying Self Reacting Friction Stir Welding, her non-profit she founded and the overall intersectionality of her life.
