B-737 Type Rating

“Aviation has been my passion for as long as I can remember. Growing up in Russia, opportunities for women in aviation were limited, but my love for flying has always driven me to pursue this dream. I'll never forget the moment I took a discovery flight in a Piper Warrior-the minute we were in the air, I knew I was destined to be a pilot.”

B-737 Type Rating

"I now know it's possible to have a career and a family, and I want to show other women it's possible for them too. I want them to dream unrestricted like I have, of what they can become and accomplish. For many, it takes real life examples just to imagine something is possible."
