## Caption

Tram Do, a fourth-year student at San Jose State University (SJSU), shares her journey toward becoming a pilot and inspiring women in the aviation industry. Originally from Vietnam and immigrating to the US at ten years old, her passion for aviation was ignited by her first flight to the United States. Despite facing numerous challenges, including switching flight schools, being a full-time student with a part-time job, and undergoing ACL surgery. Tram pushed through to achieve her private pilot license, making it as her greatest accomplishment to date.

Beyond academics, Tram is the Vice President of the Women In Aviation SJSU Chapter. She actively works to empower women pursuing this field and foster connections within the community. Her involvement in the club has led to opportunities such as attending the Women in Aviation International Conference, where she gained valuable insights and networked with professionals in the field.

Tram's ultimate dream is to become an airline pilot and contribute to increasing the representation of women, especially women of color, in aviation. She is driven by a desire to inspire young girls to pursue careers in aviation and is committed to supporting and uplifting women in the industry.

As a first-generation college student, Tram's dedication to her education and passion for aviation has been recognized through scholarships such as the Eugene C. Coussens, which has eased her financial burden. Looking ahead, she plans to focus on obtaining additional ratings and licenses while working as an Analyst Assistant for the Aviation Safety Reporting System program. Her end goal is to work in the aviation industry and teach younger generations, in particular, an aviation course here at SJSU.

Despite occasional doubts, Tram remains steadfast in her pursuit of her goals, drawing inspiration from her journey thus far, and reminding herself of all the hard work in the last four years. Her advice to others facing similar adversaries is to reflect on their path, rediscover the joy in their pursuits, and remind themselves that doubts are natural, but easily overcome with determination and self-belief.
