After graduating from Auburn, I went to work as an Aerospace Engineer for Pratt & Whitney Government Engine Business in West Palm Beach, Florida.  Soon after, I came "home" to Alabama when a position opened up at NASA's Marshall Space Flight Center.  I worked there until 1998 when I took a break from engineering to raise my family.

In 2015, I returned to the workplace as a contractor for NASA, again at Marshall Space Flight Center.  I had the opportunity to work with two technology development programs: Centennial Challenges & Technology Development Missions.  I left NASA and came to work at Madison City Schools in 2017. 

I am married to Mark Krome and have three children who currently attend school or have graduated from the Madison City System: Sophie, Celie and Rett.
