the Seeking Women of Interest Project

Name: Alanah

Occupation: Barista / Flight instructor 

Passionate about and why: I am passionate about flying! It has been years of such hard work but the reward is so worth it. I love being up in the air and having the freedom to take myself anywhere. 

Any special activities or hobbies? When I’m not flying I enjoy going to the gym, skiing, and making pretty coffee 🙂

Do you have a mentor? My flight instructors have been my greatest mentors. I look up to them so much and they push me to be my best. 

Who is a female that you admire and why? I admire all women but I especially admire my mom for always being so caring of the people around her. I admire my grandmother who gives me courage to be a pilot just like she was. I admire my great grandmother for coming to the US with her 6 children all by herself. And I admire my boyfriend’s mother for always working SO hard. I have so many powerful role models!

If you had a theme song, what would it be? My theme song is Sleep on the Floor by the Lumineers

Do you have a favorite artist?…author? My favorite author is Morgan Harper Nichols

How do you see yourself at 40? …at 70? At 40 I see myself flying internationally for an airline, and at 70 I see myself traveling to any of the places I didn’t get a chance to 

What do you love most about yourself? I love that I am so self motivated and never give up on something that I put my mind to even when I face obstacles
