Hannah Gardner was inspired to pursue aviation by her father, a former Harrier pilot in the U.S. Marine Corps, and her sister, who is currently training to fly the V-22 Osprey, also in the Marines. Growing up around an aviation family sparked her interest in flight. She began her flight training at a Part 61 flight school, earning her Private Pilot Certificate, before transferring to Epic Flight Academy, where she completed her Instrument through CFII. Hannah earned her degree in Political Science with a minor in Law Enforcement Intelligence from Florida State University. After instructing for a year, she transitioned into the role of Site Manager, where she is excited to support and inspire the next generation of pilots. Outside of aviation, she enjoys spending time with friends and family, exploring the outdoors, and walking her dog, Ruby.
