Cathleen Donovan

Drawing on my expertise in project management and interpersonal communications, I provide daily operational support to projects, programs and diversity initiatives for the People & Culture team. I am also a member of the Woods Hole Diversity Advisory Committee (DAC).

At Rensselaer Polytechnic Institute, I earned my Masters of Science in geology while working in the Planetary Sciences Lab. Much of my formal education was within a NASA Specialized Center of Research and Training in Origins of Life Studies, a think tank composed of geologists, biologists, astrophysicists and chemists. My work is driven by a passion for contributing to projects that are Earth-centered, especially alongside colleagues with similar aspirations.

I am a dedicated student of American Sign Language and deaf culture.
