Her father, a pilot for the Columbian airline Avianca, encouraged her to pursue aviation, but also to have a Plan B career plan.
Carolina earned her private pilot certificate while simultaneously studying for a mechanical engineering degree.
Although she loved engineering, during an internship she realized she had to follow her passion for aviation.
She went on to obtain an array of pilot ratings including flight instructor, airline transport pilot, and teaches upset recovery and tailwheel training. She flies gliders, seaplanes, and aerobatics.
Carolina earned a PhD in Aviation and is an Associate Professor at Embry-Riddle Aeronautical University in Daytona Beach Florida.
She lives with her brainy professor husband and 2 young girls on a grass airstrip with a hangar full of airplanes steps away from their front door.
Carolina will give a glimpse of what it’s like to live, breath, work and play airplanes full time.
