This week I attended the 2024 Women in Aviation Expo in Orlando. Growing up with scarce female role models in aviation, it was challenging to envision a future where I could navigate the skies of business and flight. Now, in my late forties, I’m witnessing a transformative era where women are not only matching strides with men but are also trailblazing unique paths in aviation. Representing just 4% of the industry, we are now opening doors, illuminating the myriad of opportunities in aviation that extend beyond the role of flight attendants—a noble profession, yet not the sole avenue for women passionate about the skies.
