Centuria recognizes Ava Afghahi for always going above and beyond!
Ava is the Guidance, Navigation, and Controls (GNC) Engineer for NASA’s Aqua and Aura satellites supporting Centuria’s Ground Systems and Mission Operations-2 (GSMO-2) subcontract at Goddard Space Flight Center (GSFC). In this role, Ava has been consistently recognized for outstanding performance, always going the extra mile in support of her customer’s mission.
Thomas Rusu, Aqua Flight Systems Manager, said of Ava, “Ava has been a huge asset to the FOT since her start as a console operator. Now as an Aqua and Aura GNC Engineer, Ava has continued to push the limits of performance…She has continued to manage the workload, execute spacecraft maneuvers flawlessly, and has provided support to her fellow GNC engineers. Ava has also volunteered as a backup console operator should our console team staff be reduced due to [Covid-19] exposure… Ava’s positive attitude influences the entire team and keeps morale high. I can’t thank Ava enough for all that she has done for the EOS missions. She continues to be the best-of-best among our team.”
Ava’s commitment to Excellence through Service is evidenced by her consistent, exemplary performance of her duties, as well as those of her colleagues when necessary. The outstanding quality of her work and “go-getter” attitude is a credit to herself, NASA, and Centuria. Ava represents a model employee, team member, and leader and Centuria is grateful that she is part of our company. Well done, Ava, and thank you for your stellar efforts in support of NASA’s mission!
