Check out more of Nathalie's journey!

From a young age, United B777 First Officer Nathalie P. knew she wanted to become a pilot for United. She spent the early years of her life flying on Continental Airlines to Brazil, where her travels quickly became a passion.

Nathalie received her Bachelor of Science degree in Aerospace Engineering from Liberty University and then completed her flight training at ATP Flight School, which is an Aviate partner. She later flew with GoJet Airlines as a First Officer and then Captain, where she completed her Aviate program requirements and transitioned to United.

Nathalie chose her path to United because of the culture, the routes and the everyday support.

“I want to show the world that women can change the way we pave the future for generations to come,” Nathalie shared. “It can be anyone.”
