Alumni Spotlight: Hannah Stepan
As a leader, scholar, role model and graduate, Hannah Stepan checks every box for what we expect at Embry-Riddle. Hannah arrived at Embry-Riddle Prescott in 2014. While a student, she maintained a 4.0 GPA and worked multiple student jobs, including Air Traffic Control (ATC) lab assistant, peer counselor and flight instructor. Hannah was nominated by her peers to serve as the President of the Flight Student Representation Committee. She also served as the Vice President and Outreach Chair of Women in Aviation’s Embry-Riddle Prescott Chapter. Hannah is also a member of Alpha Sigma Tau sorority and was elected undergraduate Vice President of Finance. After graduating, Hannah married her college sweetheart, Petr, and relocated to Colorado. She realized her dream of becoming a corporate pilot, beginning to fly Beechjets for a small company out of Denver before landing a job with SkyWest flying Canadair Regional Jets. As of February 2022, Hannah became the youngest female pilot at Southwest Airlines, while her husband Petr was hired by FedEx Airlines. Hannah and Petr have since relocated to Montana.
