She is responsible for strategic leadership and program and project management for Kennedy support to the Exploration mission, which includes Space Life and Physical Sciences (SLPS), International Space Station (ISS), Advanced Exploration Systems (AES), and Space Technology (ST) Programs.\nBurnett began her career with NASA in 1987 as an aerospace/mechanical engineer integrating experiments onto Spacelab racks and pallets. In 1991, she became an experiment project engineer and led a team of engineers in the test and checkout of the United States Microgravity Laboratory–1 Spacelab Module. Burnett moved to an operations position in 1993 as a payload test director. In this position, she was responsible for overseeing shuttle payload testing for assigned payloads, including payload support for launch countdown.\nIn 1995, Burnett served as the center director management Intern and performed in this capacity until 1996 when she joined the Space Station Hardware Integration Office. For three years, she supported the test and checkout of the Canadian Space Station Remote Manipulator System (SSRMS) in Brampton, Ontario, and the Canadian portion of the Multi Element Integrated Test, after which time she was selected to lead the Element 6A Office as the acting chief.\nIn 2000, Burnett joined the ISS/Payload Processing Directorate as the chief of the Future Missions and International Partner Division. In this position, she led the office responsible for the advanced planning of ISS international elements, shuttle payloads, and concepts for improved ways to test payloads in the future. In 2003, she returned to the directorate as deputy for Program Management for the ISS and Payload Processing Directorate and the Kennedy Space Center.
