Why are you passionate about aviation?
I am very passionate about aviation because it is something I became interested in at a young age. When I was younger, I flew frequently and was intrigued to know how such big planes could fly. As soon as I was introduced to a flight school near me (ACE), I immediately jumped at the opportunity. Since then, my love and passion for aviation have grown.
What is your future aspiration?
My future aspiration is to become a pilot at a major U.S. airline.
Why did you choose to apply to Tuskegee NEXT?
I discovered the Tuskegee NEXT program in the summer of 2018. I thought it would be an honor to be able to carry on the legacy of the Tuskegee Airmen. I also applied to Tuskegee NEXT because I believed that it would be a great opportunity for me to learn more about aviation as well as fly. I also believed that Tuskegee NEXT would help me achieve my long term goals.
