Hello everyone! T’is me, Natalie, your favorite Seattle-based flight attendant. I’m creating this because I’m now pursuing a career path in dispatching! Our company works with the Aircraft Dispatch Academy that offers an 8-week long course (the first six weeks of the course are online, then the last two weeks are in person in St. George, Utah) that will help prepare me to get my dispatching certification. Plus, this program offers interviews with their partnered airlines (including SkyWest). I am eager to begin the next available course which starts in mid-July!

As soon as I announced that this was an endeavor that I wanted to pursue, my loving sister took it upon herself to rally some family and friends to pitch in to help make this dream become a reality. So far, we have enough for half of the tuition, which is a great start! The amount on this fund should cover the remaining amount of tuition, plus the cost of lodging/food while I'm in St. George, and lastly FAA testing fees.

For those of you that know me, making this GoFundMe is a really big step out of my comfort zone because I'm not the type of person who likes asking for help. BUT a lot of people have really encouraged me to just take the leap and make one. For those of you who already donated, thank you, I love you and appreciate you! And for those of you who are able to contribute towards this fund, I am forever grateful for you. And even if you can't, I totally get it lol times are tough! Well wishes are appreciated too! :)

Thank you all again for helping me shine. And wish me luck! :)
