Jessica is recognized internationally as an inspirational keynote speaker. Born without arms, Jessica now flies airplanes, drives cars and otherwise lives a normal life using her feet as others use their hands. She holds the Guinness World Record for being the first armless person in aviation history to earn a pilot's certificate. Convinced that the way we think has a greater impact on our lives than our physical constraints, she chose to pursue a degree in psychology at the University of Arizona. Since then she has traveled to 20 countries sharing her inspirational message. Purchase Breakfast Tickets: WAI Members should purchase tickets for the breakfast online in the Members Only Section and Guests can register at https://www.wai.org/eventreg/event_start.cfm?did4=25 or by calling WAI headquarters at (937) 839-4647. After breakfast, head to show center for our traditional photo of women in aviation at the show.
