Abigail Harrison, a.k.a. Astronaut Abby, is a senior at Wellesley College. She is studying Astro-Biology and Russian and working toward becoming a scientist with a goal to try to become a NASA astronaut.
Five years ago, Abby began sharing her dream of becoming one of the first astronauts to Mars online and today she has built a community of more than one million followers and fans who support her dream and the dreams of many other amazing young people. To expand this community of support, Abby established a worldwide outreach initiative to engage students across the world about space, STEM and reaching for one’s dreams. She turned this outreach program into The Mars Generation (themarsgeneration.org) – a 501(c)(3) nonprofit with a goal to serve as a catalyst to identify students with an interest in these areas and nurture their study in STEM education.
Abby is recognized as a leader in the space community, working as a space ambassador herself with a focus on educating and exciting people around the world about the importance of space exploration to the future of humankind. To find Abby, visit her website at www.AstronautAbby.com.
