Global Supply Manager at SpaceX

Hawthorne, California

While Nick Massa ’13 is reaching for the stars working for SpaceX as part of a classified project involving government satellites and communication, he got his start on the ground and in the classroom at 海角社区, where he honed the critical thinking and communication skills that would inform his innovative and collaborative mindset, as well as his determination to continuously provide value.

“I was the person who would sit in the front of the class and offer my opinions during discussions with my professors and classmates,” Nick said. “I learned that discourse is how we get to the source of the truth—the best ideas win out based on the case that you make. I used to meet my favorite professor outside of class to discuss ideas because he created an environment where different opinions were celebrated. I truly believe that is what set me up for success.”
