 * Olga D. González-Sanabria and Her Influence In the World In Science**

Science and Technology are very important in our lives and for the whole world. Without them we could not make all the new upgrade we had made in our lives. It includes everything. Starting on new medicine. Can you think about how life would be if the scientists could not find day after day a new medicine to cure the sickness? Can you image how life would be if we could not use the Ipads, cell phones as we do today? We need science and technology to keep growing and make new discoveries. Thinking about Science and Technology we need to think about the people who make new discoveries or can make any discovery even better. Between these people who make difference in the world of Science and technology we will find many Hispanics inventors, science, in other world people who grew up in a Spanish Communities, but made or are making right now a difference in the world of Science and Technology. After reading about many of them. One of them called my attention. Have you heard about Mrs. Olga D. Gonzales-Sanabria? If not you will need to read this essay very carefully. You will be able to learn about a scientist who had help to change things in the world. You will learn about a Hispanic lady who not only made already a big difference in the world, but is still helping others to find new discovery to make more difference in our world.

The person I am talking about right now serves as Director of Engineering at the National Aeronautics and Spaces Administration’s (NASA) Glenn research Center in Cleveland, Ohio. But, I would prefer to start from the beginning. Therefore let’s go back to San Juan, Puerto Rico. Yes, Gonzalez-Sanabria was born and raised in Puerto Rico where she received both her elementary and middle education. She grew up as a regular Spanish girl following all the rules that a girl should follow. After she graduated from high school and earned her Bachelor of Science degree in chemical engineering at the University of Puerto Rico at Mayaguez. She moved to Ohio, USA where she earned her master’s degree in the same discipline (**Dunbar, Brian) **.

By 1979, she began her NASA career. During her career she also served as Director of the Systems Management Office. She played a good part in the power systems area with the development of the “Long Cycle-Life Nickel-Hydrogen Batteries”. Her technical contributions helped to enable the international Space Station power system. She won the R&D 100 Award in recognition of this effort. yes, she did it. It was so easy due to the fact that she was Hispanic Heritage in the United States of America. But, she did it (**Dunbar, Brian) **.

Gonzales-Sanabria, who was feature together with her husband, Rafael Sanabria, as “NASA Glenn’s Dynamic Duo” in HENAAC’S Technical magazine’s (Winter 2004 edition) cover story, also holds a patent, over 30 technical reports and presentations for journals and conferences. However, her big paycheck was being appointed to Senior Rank and named director of the Systems Management Office at NASA’s Glenn Research Center. It happened in 2002, when Gonzales-Sanabria became the highest-ranking Hispanic at NASA Glenn. She is also a member of the Ohio Women’s Hall of Fame. She also received numerous prestigious awards including the NASA Medal for outstanding leadership, women of color in technology career achievement award, NASA exceptional service medal ( **List of Puerto Rican **).

Olga D.Gonzalez-Sanabria lives in Strongsville, Ohio with her husband, Rafael, and their two daughters. During her free time she has mentored many students with special attention to groups that she can provide opportunities that allow them to gain meaningful experiences. She also is an active mentor to professionals at mid career levels and actively supports their development and advancement.(**Olga D. **) Gonzalez-Sanabria is a Hispanic lady from Puerto Rico who for sure is making a huge difference in the world of Science and Technology.
