Aerospace executive Nikki Kodama urged college-bound scholars to “blaze your own path and find your own way (and) become a member of this (Japanese American) community” as she delivered the keynote address at this year’s Japanese American Treaty Centennial Scholarship Fund awards luncheon on July 29.
Kodama, 2004 Nisei Week Queen, is vice president and B-2 Spirit Program manager for Northrop Grumman Aeronautics. She outlined her path toward her non-traditional career and emphasized the importance of community involvement and being true to oneself. She currently oversees the development, sustainment, and modernization of B-2 aircraft and encourages women to pursue technical careers.
“Be proud of your Japanese American background,” Consul General Kenko Sone said to the scholarship honorees. Community involvement is factored into the selection of the recipients.
Troy Kadonaga, a recent graduate of Chatsworth Charter High School, accepted the scholarships on behalf of his fellow recipients. He is headed to the University of Southern California, where he will major in applied and computational math.
