Contract negotiations are just one of the responsibilities of the Business and Revenue Contracts team at UC Davis. And while each contract or agreement brings its own challenges, occasionally a contract is so complex and unique it's in a different stratosphere.
Such was the case for Contract Administrator Valerie Roque, who played a vitally important behind-the-scenes role in NASA's recent Artemis I moon mission. Valerie spent more than a year negotiating the contract between the McLellan Nuclear Research Center at UC Davis, which provided neutron radiography services to the mission, and Boeing, which developed Artemis I's Space Launch System.
Back here on Earth, Valerie enjoys spending time with her family, which includes twin daughters, and taking opportunities to learn more about contracts, transactions and environmental law.
