Kristina Gatto: Creating Astronomy's Largest Group Chat

In this episode, we’re joined by Kristina Gatto, an astrophysicist, content creator, and founder of NOVA (the Network for Outreach and Vocation in Astronomy), to talk about her journey from a space-obsessed kid in New Jersey to a physics PhD student and astronomy advocate. Kristina shares how encouragement, mentorship, and community helped her overcome self-doubt and pursue astrophysics. We also explore her passion for outreach which led her to the creation of NOVA, a network of students from all over the world helping each other achieve careers in space.---Where to find Kristina:NOVA's WebsiteTikTokKristina's InstagramNOVA's Instagram---Hosted by Shawn LinamProduced and edited by Sicily Seitz---Supported by Qwaltec---Find In Her Orbit on:InstagramLinkedInFacebook
