  I am the Executive Director of JSSOAR, standing for Jordan Student Space Outreach and Academic Relations. Our program, given the start time of February, has faced numerous challenges but a greater number of successes. Our program brought Victor Jerome Glover, the first NASA Active Astronaut to step into Jordan, conducting outreach in the country to thousands of people. JSSOAR held the country's sole Artemis I viewing party and has introduced Jordan's first Women in Aviation International Chapter to the Middle East. Additionally, JSSOAR works closely with the United States Embassy in Amman to host such projects. For example, with the help of the United States Embassy, JSSOAR has held JMARS (Java Mission Analysis and Remote Sensing) classes for the under-served children in Amman. JSSOAR is working work the European Space Agency to bring three hundred tomato seeds from the International Space Station (ISS), serves NASA Educator classes, and is introducing a NASA collaborative program, the Mars Student Imaging Program (MSIP) to allow the students of Jordan to conduct real science based off of the planet Mars and construct scientific research proposals. As the Executive Director, my duties consist of project management, team leadership, managing an organization with over three hundred members, serving underrepresented schools, international communications, high-profile communications, educational programming, community development, corporate partnership programming, finance management, grant writing, implementation of some of the first space, and aviation student programs in the Middle East.
