ABOUT

Hayley Arceneaux is a physician assistant at St. Jude Children’s Research Hospital, a career she committed to at age ten, after surviving pediatric bone cancer. She served as an ambassador for the hospital when she joined the first all-civilian orbital space mission, Inspiration 4, in September 2021, and spent three days in orbit. At age 29 she became the youngest American in space, the first pediatric cancer survivor, and the first astronaut with a prosthetic body part. She hails from Louisiana but is now living in Memphis, TN with her aussiedoodle Scarlett. She loves traveling (she has now visited all 7 continents) and exploring the beautiful planet she gained a unique perspective of from space.
