Megan Jordan is a fourth year Aerospace Engineering student on a 5-year track at the University of Alabama in Huntsville. Originally from Mobile, Alabama, Megan moved to Huntsville to pursue her love of space exploration, STEM education and Outreach.

In 2021, Megan was one of 43 students selected to be a part of the inaugural class of Patti Grace Smith Fellows. The Patti Grace Smith Fellowship (PGSF), named in honor of aerospace trailblazer Patti Grace Smith, is a sister fellowship to the Brooke Owens Fellowship (BOF). The PGSF is specifically for Black undergraduate students pursuing their first internship in aerospace. As a fellow Megan interned at Hermeus Corporation, a hypersonic aircraft company based in Atlanta Georgia. There she worked on the Structures Team doing early-stage vehicle design for the demonstrator aircraft. Megan has also completed an internship at Northrop Grumman and Aviation Week. Aside from her work she was recognized as a 2021 American Institute of Aeronautics and Astronautics (AIAA) Diversity Scholar. She has served on the selection committee and as a recruiting coordinator for the PGSF and BOF, which she was awarded in 2022. In summer 2022, Megan completed her BOF internship as a Mechanical and Hardware Development intern on the electric propulsion team at Amazon Prime Air in Seattle, Washington. She is excited to explore other opportunities in aerospace and hopes to inspire the younger generation to pursue STEM degrees while fostering diversity and inclusivity aerospace. As for future plans, Megan will be starting at Blue Origin this summer as a Test and Flight Operations intern in Van Horn, Texas.
