Up, up and away… Over our beautiful VA… 🎈 Mandy Baskin, a 2004 UVA graduate, piloted hot air balloons to fund her education. She began her ballooning journey at 19, eventually establishing her own company, @monticellocountryballooning, in Albemarle County, Virginia. After working as a nurse for several years, she transitioned to ballooning full time in 2020. With over 2,500 flights to her credit, she continues to share her passion with others. 🎈 Read more about Baskin's journey at the link in our bio. #UVAAlumni
