S2E5: Keelee Moseley on Redefining Failure

In this episode of From Failure to Launch, host Keira sits down with Keelee Moseley, MBA — a software engineer, educator, and mission-driven problem solver whose career has taken her from Pitts, Pennsylvania, all the way to NASA and beyond. Keelee opens up about starting off at Penn State with dreams of becoming a computer engineer, only to realize that her superpower wasn’t coding—it was curiosity. From teaching programming at ITT to developing software for capturing orbital images at NASA, and now leading patient accessibility initiatives at Merck, Keelee’s story is anything but linear. She shares how embracing "failure" helped her pivot industries, redefine success, and break barriers as a woman of color in tech. Tune in to hear how Keelee transformed doubt into drive—and why learning, challenging yourself, and staying mission-focused is the ultimate way to launch a meaningful career.
