She earned a Bachelor of Science degree in aeronautical engineering from Embry-Riddle Aeronautical University in 1987 and a Master of Science degree in Engineering Management from the University of Central Florida in 1992. Her career began in 1987 as a structural design engineer with Pratt & Whitney Government Engines in West Palm Beach, Florida, where she conducted structural analyses of jet engine components. In 1988, Stott joined NASA at the Kennedy Space Center (KSC) as an Operations Engineer and later served in various roles, including Vehicle Operations Engineer and Orbiter Project Engineer for Columbia. She also worked as a NASA Project Lead for ISS truss elements under construction at the Boeing Space Station facility in Huntington Beach, California.
In July 2000, Stott was selected as a mission specialist by NASA, completing her astronaut candidate training in August 2000. She held technical duties in the Astronaut Office Station Operations Branch, evaluating station payloads, and served as a support astronaut and CAPCOM for the ISS Expedition 10 crew. A notable precursor to her space missions was her participation in the NEEMO 9 mission in April 2006, where she lived and worked for 18 days in the Aquarius undersea research habitat as a NASA Aquanaut. Her spaceflight career included serving as a flight engineer on ISS Expedition 20 and Expedition 21, and as a mission specialist on STS-128 and STS-133, totaling 103 days, 5 hours, and 49 minutes in space.
During her time in space, Stott became the 10th woman to perform a spacewalk and the first person to operate the International Space Station’s robotic arm to capture a free-flying cargo vehicle. She also made history by painting the first watercolor in space during Expedition 21.
