Sabrina Thompson an Aerospace Engineer at NASA Goddard Space Flight Center.
Sabrina Thompson performs orbit design studies and develops trajectory and mission designs for CubeSat missions and technology development efforts.
Sabrina received a B.E. in Mechanical Engineering from SUNY Stony Brook while playing four years of NCAA Division I Women’s Basketball; M.S. in Aerospace Engineering from Georgia Institute of Technology; and is currently pursuing a Ph.D. in Atmospheric Physics at University of Maryland Baltimore County (UMBC).
She is passionate about innovation, space exploration and having a positive impact on society. Apart from participating in outreach activities through NASA, Sabrina uses art to inspire the next generation of girls to be confident in their abilities and know they are more than capable of breaking down barriers they will encounter as they pursue their dreams. Under her artist name, Nefertiti- Pokahontas, she is creating a collection of paintings and books, called Girl in Space. Ultimately, she hopes girls will see themselves in these works of art and be encouraged to pursue careers in S.T.E.A.M. Her artwork can be found at www.nefertiti-pokahontas.com
