Why are you passionate about aviation?
It has always been my dream, and I want to share that dream with others. People like myself are under-represented in the field of aviation, and I want to be an inspiration to young people who want to pursue an aviation career, especially black females.
What is your future aspiration?
I want to serve my community and country and leave this earth, knowing that I inspired people to follow their dreams and make the world a better place, upholding my family's legacy with honor.
Why did you choose to apply to Tuskegee NEXT?
I chose to apply to Tuskegee NEXT because I want to attend Tuskegee University after high school. I knew this program was a way that I could start my aviation career before college begins, and that it would help me carry on the legacy of the Tuskegee Airmen.
