Philomena Kasun

Philomena "Phil" Kasun was a Human Starfleet officer.

History
Philomena Kasun was born in 2346. Early on, she took the nickname “Phil”. Later she said she never thought “Philomena” suited her and described it as a “bit of a mouthful”. Kasun attended Starfleet Academy from 2363 to 2367.

Upon her graduation, Kasun was assigned to the USS Pioneer as assistant chief flight control officer. In 2370, she was promoted to lieutenant junior grade and made chief flight control officer after her former supervisor Adriana Watley advanced to the command division. She remained in that position until her resignation from Starfleet in early 2376.

During her time on the Pioneer, Kasun experienced a great deal of growth, both professionally and personally. As a newly commissioned officer in a position of great responsibility, she was initially unsure of herself and her place. As she acclimated herself to life aboard a starship, aided by her close friendships with Watley and Tolly Gerard, she became more confident in her skills and ably took the place of her highly respected predecessor.
