Meet C1C Hayden Ward, a Biology major with a Pre-Medical minor and future RPA Pilot from Mobile, Alabama. 🌊

🏥 𝐂𝐨𝐦𝐦𝐮𝐧𝐢𝐭𝐲 𝐎𝐮𝐭𝐫𝐞𝐚𝐜𝐡. Led a Children’s Hospital pep rally in D.C., reminding her who we serve and protect
 
As a four-year cheerleader, she brings energy, pride and enthusiasm to every sideline and every stand.
 
Her favorite sport to support is af_football for the atmosphere, lights and game-day energy. She also loves cheering on Air Force Lacrosse. 🏈🥍
 
After serving as an RPA Pilot, Hayden hopes to transition into nursing later in her career, combining her passion for medicine with her commitment to service. ⚕️
