Breaking Barriers on Earth & in Space | The Journey of Ellen Ochoa, the First Latina Astronaut
This week on the Fritanga Podcast, we delve into the inspirational journey of Dr. Ellen Ochoa, the first Latina astronaut in space.
From her groundbreaking achievements to her advocacy for STEM education and diversity, Dr. Ochoa's story is one of grit, passion, and breaking barriers. Tune in to discover how she shattered stereotypes, logged nearly 1,000 hours in orbit, and continues to inspire the next generation to explore their potential in the sciences - including her recent work with the Hispanic Heritage Foundation and Minecraft Education on Latinexplorers 2.
Dr. Ochoa's stellar career includes four space missions and leadership as director of NASA’s Johnson Space Center. With over 25 years at NASA, she's been inducted into the U.S. Astronaut Hall of Fame, appointed vice chair of the National Science Board, and honored with NASA’s highest award, the Distinguished Service Medal.
Beyond her achievements, Dr. Ochoa champions STEM education and diversity. Through partnerships with organizations like the Hispanic Heritage Foundation and nationwide speaking engagements, she empowers women and people of color to explore their potential in science and beyond.
