Congrats! I wish her luck.  Time we got back to the moon IMHO.

 

From an article on the hill.

Lueders’ first task will be to exert steady leadership over the HEO directorate, shaken by the train wreck caused by the sudden departure of her predecessor Doug Loverro. Loverro was forced to resign, reportedly because he violated the Procurement Integrity Act by secretly favoring Boeing during the down select for the lunar lander contract. The matter is a subject of an ongoing investigation by the NASA Office of Inspector General.

Sorry to say that I really do not know.

 

Did a quick look and did not find the list of preceding heads of the department.

I really don't think Melania Trump would be any good at it.
