Heather’s story—
Not every little girl who turns out to be a pilot grows up wanting to be one; I was one of those girls. I love animals and had wanted to work with them
since I was a child. I planned to be a veterinarian or a zoologist. I worked in a Kennel and a Veterinary office until after college when I became an Animal
Researcher. I loved all of my jobs and was content in my career choice. I went to college for Biology and planned to follow my dream. There was
something missing in my life through all of that, I just didn’t know what it was until later….
