ASPIRING EAGLE PILOT LEVERAGES HIS LOVE OF LEARNING
With a combination of dedication, determination and Dual Enrollment, Kegan Martindale- Hernandez (’20, ’22, ’24) earned his A.S. in Aeronautics from Embry-Riddle a month before he graduated high school. Martindale-Hernandez made the most of his head start by also earning a B.S. in Aeronautics and is now pursuing his Master of Space Operations. On top of all that, he is a licensed pilot and published author of a children’s book called “Sweet Flight!,” which focuses on the joys of flying. Not bad for a 22-year-old.
EAGLE SOARS AS AIR CANADA’S FIRST BLACK FEMALE PILOT
Zoey Williams (’18, ’20, ’21) is proof that there are no limits in the sky. Or anywhere else, for that matter. The 28-year-old Ontario, Canada, native already holds four college degrees — including three from Embry-Riddle — and, as a Boeing 777 first officer at Air Canada, she has the kind of full-time flying job many aspiring pilots can only dream about. “I looked at many other universities to find the right fit, but it always kept coming back to Embry-Riddle,” Williams said. “They had professors who understood the industry, who understood the schedule of an airline pilot and the growth of an aviation career and the amount of attention that you need to put in what you’re doing.”
Williams earned her A.S. in Aeronautics from Embry-Riddle in 2018 and followed that up with her B.S. in Aeronautics in February 2020 before getting her Master of Business Administration in Aviation in 2021.
