Katya Celeste Echazarreta González, an emblem of pioneering spirit and intellect, broke the celestial ceiling as the first Mexican-born woman to travel to space on June 4, 2022, as part of Space for Humanity's Citizen Astronaut Program. Born in Mexico in 1995 and migrating to the US at the tender age of eight, Katya overcame language barriers and cultural shifts through sheer determination and the encouragement of a mother who instilled in her the values of hard work and passion pursuit. Her academic journey led her from San Diego City College to UCLA, where she obtained her B.S. in Electrical Engineering, culminating in an illustrious career at NASA working on pivotal missions such as Perseverance and Europa Clipper.

Her contributions to space exploration and technology, recognized by an Honorary Doctorate, are matched by her dedication to STEM education and her role as a beacon for women in engineering. Katya's journey from a curious child fascinated by the cosmos to a respected electrical engineer and a celebrated astronaut exemplifies her unwavering commitment to pushing the boundaries of human potential and knowledge. Now pursuing a Master's degree in Electrical Engineering at Johns Hopkins University, she continues to inspire as a science communicator, spreading her passion for engineering through social media and as a co-host on Netflix's YouTube series, Netflix IRL.
