B-737 Type Rating

“When I took an introductory lesson, it was love at first flight. The passion ignited within me propelled me to focus, study well, work hard, apply feedback, calm fears, seek mentorship and remain undeterred by challenges. The profound gratitude I have for the women who have inspired me is my motivation to support other women in their goals to become airline pilots."

B-737 Type Rating

"Being born and raised in Korea, I had to face harsh reality; there was no way I could be a pilot in Korea with gender bias. so I made up my mind to go to the United States. This is more than a career ambition. It’s a mission to break barriers and inspire others from different backgrounds to dream big and aim high. I firmly believe that when you see someone in your dream job, that opens up possibilities in your life, just like the one that changed my life forever.”
