Each year the Empowering Young Women’s Conference consists of activities for young women along with special guests that speak inspiration into them.

During her nearly 12 years at the company, she flew three different types of airplanes, serving as Captain on the Embraer 145 and the CRJ-700. She became the first African American woman in the company’s history to achieve the rank of Check Airman.
