The National Center for Children and Families (NCCF) announces the appointment of its youngest ever member of the Board of Trustees and an award-winning alumnus, Paul Kennedy, Software Engineer at The National Aeronautics and Space Administration’s (NASA) Goddard Space Flight Center.

A 2020 graduate of the George Washington University, Paul has a Bachelor of Science in Computer Engineering. He interned first at the Telophase Corporation, and then began at NASA on the Wavefront Sensing and Control Team for the Roman Space Telescope observatory mission.
