We were proud to award Jessica McClintock with our first scholarship of 2022.
Jessica McClintock is a proud student pilot and the VP of Global Account Management for a business aviation software company, FuelerLinx. Responsible for much of the company's worldwide support, sales, & operations, Jessica is an aviation fanatic! Outside of her full-time role, she serves as Co-Chair to NBAA’s Environmental Subcommittee where she is helping lead the environmental sustainability efforts for the business aviation industry. Jessica is also prior Chair to NBAA’s Young Professionals Council, advocating for young people in business aviation, while previously awarded NBAA‘s “Top 40 Under 40” honor. Prior to her career in aviation, Jessica earned a Bachelor of Arts degree in Communications from the University of Washington while operating retail-clothing stores in the Pacific Northwest. Her passion for advocacy of young people and those of lower economic advantage has continued to grow, leading her right back to aviation. Fueled by the support of those who surround her, she now dedicates most of her time toward helping others realize their goals and opportunities that are available through the business aviation industry. Jessica is now a member of The San Fernando Valley Ninety-Nines, and of the Women in Aviation Los Angeles Chapter, continuing toward her goals of earning a Private Pilot Certification. Close to achieving her first certificate, Jessica dreams of earning her CFI rating soon after, to offer free and low-cost resources to aviators who come from underprivileged backgrounds.
