Guest Speakers
Chelsea Partridge
Chelsea Partridge is a Systems Integration and Test Engineer at Lockheed Martin.
“Volunteering is a passion for Chelsea and she has been supporting her community most of her life. Her mother inspired her to volunteer. She started when she was young at the local library, and as she grew older, she found her two big passions: science and space.
She is now the President of the Missile, Space, and Range Pioneers, a volunteer-run nonprofit which provides social, networking, and education opportunities for space and defense professionals. She also volunteers through FIRST robotics and local community organizations for non-STEM volunteering.
Chelsea has an excellent recommendation for the ones who want to start volunteering, “Just do it! Think about what interests you, start in your comfort zone, or challenge yourself and participate; you will find every experience rewarding.””
