Meet C1C Katarina Schultz from Chardon, Ohio.

Katarina is a Military & Strategic Studies major and will attend pilot training upon graduation. 🎓✈️

She wants to serve her country and contribute to something larger than herself to make her family proud. 🇺🇸

Katarina was drawn to the unique lifestyle, opportunities and challenges that #USAFA offers. As a falconer on the usafafalconry team, she takes part in the daily care of the falcons, ensuring their health, training and well-being. Beyond her falconry duties, she also serves as the Cadet Squadron 26 commander. 🦅

Her favorite memories include traveling to jointbasephh 🏝️ for Ops Air Force and receiving her pilot slot.

"Don’t decide you can’t do something before trying; you are capable of more than you think."
