Working at NASA since 2000, she now oversees research to enhance collaboration within DFRC, as well as with external entities, in support of the integrated use of remote sensing instruments in aerial platforms.[3] Early yearsRodón Naveira was born on 2 April 1963[1] in San Juan, Puerto Rico, where she was raised and received both her primary and secondary education. Her mother was Miriam Naveira Merly, the first female Chief Justice of the Supreme Court of Puerto Rico, and her father was a prominent businessman.[1] After graduating from high school, she continued her academic education at Georgetown University, Washington D.C. where she earned an undergraduate degree in Psychology. She also holds a doctoral degree in Biology-Earth Science Micro-Ecology from Georgetown University.[3] In 1990, Rodón-Naveira worked with the United States Environmental Protection Agency as Biologist, Project Officer, and Environmental Research Scientist. In 1995, she became the first woman minority Branch Chief within the National Exposure Research Laboratory (NERL) and in 1998, the first Hispanic woman to hold the Deputy Directorship for the Environmental Sciences Division (ESD) within the NERL.[4] Career at NASAIn December 2000, Rodón-Naveira became an Earth Science Remote Sensing Scientist with NASA at Dryden Flight Research Center in Edwards, California. Her responsibilities included coordinating and conducting research to enhance collaboration between Directorates within DFRC, NASA Ames Research Center at Moffett Field, California, universities, Indian tribes and other governments and international entities; all in support of the integrated use of remote sensing instruments. Rodón-Naveira was involved with the Unmanned Aerial Vehicle (UAV) developmental activities within NASA DFRC Aerospace Projects Directorate. As Science Lead, she was responsible for developing collaborative partnership with the scientific community for the potential use of UAVs as unique science platforms in long-duration, long-range, and high-hazard missions. Rodón-Naveira is currently "the Senior Safety Technical Manager within the Office of Safety and Mission Assurance...at NASA Dryden Flight Research Center (DFRC)", where she is responsible for "leading, coordinating and managing DFRC's safety and occupational training and competency projects to ensure a safe mission success."[3] Her work involves interfacing with external partners at NASA's Ames Research Center, Moffett Field, and the State of California, as well as universities, Indian tribes and other national and international entities.[3] Respected in her field, she is frequently invited as a speaker on scientific topics.[5][6] Personal lifeRodón Naveira, is married to Christopher Mace and they have a daughter, Sarah, and a son as well as an adoptive goddaughter, Julie Fuller.

The Earth-to-space linkup is part of a weeklong training workshop for teachers from schools chosen for the National Aeronautics and Space Administration's Explorer School program. The workshop's goal is to help math and science teachers inspire the next generation of scientists and explorers of space. Rodon Naveira has been quoted as saying, "What better way than to have our teachers who are currently going through the workshop with us ... be able to ask questions of our astronauts in the International Space Station?"
