"Once you have tasted flight, you will forever walk the earth with your eyes turned skyward." After my first discovery flight, I did just that. My name is Ariel and I'm an 18-year-old Private Pilot. Soaring the skies as a professional pilot is the career I long for. I dedicate my time to making informative videos about my journey thus far and I mentor student pilots for a smooth path to becoming a private pilot. Women of color are underrepresented in the aviation industry, but I am destined to be a part of that change.

My flight lessons are $280 per hour. I have about 115 of the 1000 hours required to become an airline pilot. With your help, I'm certain this will happen! Flight lessons can be quite a pretty penny, however, supporting this GoFundMe will make my future possible.
