Why are you passionate about aviation?
Ever since my first flight, I fell in love with the aerodynamics and knowledge behind understanding how planes fly. To fly among the clouds is an experience that is unique, dynamic, and ever-changing. How could you not be passionate about it?

Why did you choose to apply to Tuskegee NEXT?
Tuskegee NEXT is an amazing opportunity based in community that honors the legacy of the Tuskegee Airmen. To be a part of something historic is amazing. Tuskegee NEXT will enable me to be financially unburdened with the immense cost of funding my private pilot's license. I am inspired by the work, values, and morals of the foundation. They work so hard to do what I hope to give back to my community one day.
