After earning my aviation science degree from Texas Southern, I plan to become an airline pilot. Hopefully, I’ll get to fly for United so I can fly with my dad one day as he is also a United pilot. I also want to start a program that spreads awareness about aviation in underprivileged black and brown communities. This will be catered especially towards young women in an effort to diversify the cockpit in years to come.

I learned about Tuskegee Next from participating in the OBAP Solo Flight Academy in the summer of 2022. I applied to Tuskegee Next because it would put me one step closer to my goal of becoming an airline pilot.

I decided to apply to Tuskegee NEXT because I knew it would be a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity and I wanted to be around others working towards the same goal of becoming pilots. I heard about Tuskegee NEXT during Service at Salem Baptist Church in Chicago, I knew it was a divine appointment.
