Watch Katya Echazarreta, S4H's FIRST Citizen Astronaut make history being the YOUNGEST American woman and the FIRST Mexican born woman to go to space!

Katya's Mission is to inspire young women of colour to not just join the STEM field- but make massive impact! Working as an electrical engineer at NASA, Katya noticed how few women of colour were around her. So, she took to her social media platforms and began documenting her journey, passion, and drive with people around the world!

As S4H's First Ambassador Katya is embodying and amplifying our Mission of expanding access to space for all of humanity.
