Ashley Adams - 2024 Professional Pilot Scholarship recipient
Hello, my name is Ashley Adams. I am from New Orleans, Louisiana. Let me tell you a bit about me...
I was always curious about being a pilot when I was young. I always had seen it as a male-dominated career, until one day, I saw for the first time ever, a black female pilot getting her accolades from her hometown in Louisiana! Ever since that day I became intrigued to go after what I thought would only be a dream for me.
My goal now is to become a commercial airline pilot, but my true end goal is to fly as a cargo pilot for FedEx. I am currently a flight attendant for Endeavor Air/Delta.
With this program I pray to get all the knowledge and wisdom to be a great pilot and do what I’ve always dreamed, and that's learn the in's and out's of a plane. I also want to meet and hear stories and get advice from other great pilots who embarked on this journey. T
his isn’t easy but I am here for the ride and long-term investment to become the first generation female pilot in my family. Here’s to me changing from the main cabin to the flight deck!
