Rachel Huff-Wagenborg

I am honored and deeply grateful to be selected as a recipient of the The Debbie Franceus Memorial Aviation Foundation Scholarship. This generous support is both an investment in my aviation journey and powerful encouragement as I pursue a bold career shift.

With a Master's Degree in Public Administration and a strong foundation in nonprofit leadership, I've spent my career serving mission-driven organizations. Now, I'm channeling that same passion and purpose into aviation, with the goal of becoming a commercial pilot. I'm especially excited to explore how I can fuse my love for flying with meaningful, service-oriented work. When I'm not in the sky, you'll find me creating memories with my son, sailing, or on the tennis courts.

Thank you to the The Debbie Franceus Memorial Aviation Foundation Committee for believing in my potential and helping to propel me toward my goals.
