Holy shit, that poor woman. Must've been heck growing up, but then again her being ugly encouraged her to study hard, not get laid, and eventually get a PhD.
She's got a PhD, right? They don't just let anyone be an astronaut these days, right?

She's married, her husband is a Texas cop named Michael Williams. Maiden name is Pandya
She was a helicopter pilot during her time at the Navy. As an astronaut she flew a shuttle mission, STS-116 and a Soyuz mission (Soyuz TMA-05M).
NASA doesn't require a PhD for astronauts, a master degree in STEM will suffice, along piloting experience and physical aptitude. Most of the recent ones are PhD though.
