Doctor. Aerospace Enthusiast. Trailblazer.

In 1982, she began her esteemed career with NASA as a physician. In 1994 she was appointed Director of the Biomedical Operations and Research Office at the Kennedy Space Center (KSC) and in 2000 she was appointed Chief Medical Officer and Associate Director of Spaceport Services. Dr. Long was a trailblazer in her own right.
