“I had my job, I had a career, and then I found a calling. I loved entertainment and I loved filming, and so I got to combine all of it. Only six percent of pilots are women, and there’s even less in the film industry. So I was like, I want to film movies, that’s what I want to do. I’m living my dream. Everyone says, follow your passion. I loved being on camera and now I still have a camera, it’s just 3,000 feet in the air.”
