Nancy earned a BFA Summa Cum Laude degree from the Maryland Institute, College of Art (MICA) majoring in painting.

Looking at the world from a different angle as you would in space always intrigued me, that is, until my first algebra class. I learned that that math wasn’t my thing, and without the math, no engineering degree, no engineering degree, no space flight. So kicking around in Holland during my 8th-grade year (my father was in the Air Force), trying to figure out how I wouldn't be just another tool to society in my later life, I happened upon a person with a Canon camera with a very long lens attached.
