Have you had/have any mentors throughout the years?
Evey:
Many, mostly men, however my first female mentor was my second flight instructor. We talk to this day!
How did you become interested in aviation?
Evey:
This is one of my favorite stories. An assignment was given to me in middle school. Go interview a person doing a job you think you can NOT do. I ended up at the airport, liked airplanes, never dreamed of flying one. In my head only men, specifically military men, became airline pilots. I interviewed a flight instructor; he took me flying and I was bit hard by the aviation bug… Thank you teachers everywhere who think out of the box!
Do you have any future aviation goals you hope to achieve?
Evey:
My goal is to change the training industry by utilizing modern technologies to enhance safety, standardization, and enjoyment in pilot training. I started a virtual reality pilot training company 4 years ago and look forward to seeing the shift coming to an airline near you soon!
