Katherine Moloney

Is founder of Elevate(her) Aviation. She started flying at 18, after she had a trial lesson in a helicopter while working in the warehouse for Transair Flight Equipment. That flight changed the course of her career, and she has now obtained a Private Pilots Licence for both helicopter, and fixed wing aircraft. As well as now being Marketing Director for Transair Flight Equipment, and a Department for Transport Aviation Ambassador. She also runs an aviation social media account with over 240,000 Instagram followers aimed at supporting and encouraging people in the aviation industry. 

Growing up Eloise didn't have any exposure to aviation, so it was never a career path that was presented to her as a young woman. It wasn't until she was 18 she met an Integrated student pilot, that she became fascinated by the students journey and it sparked a fire in her she didn't know existed!

A few months later, she booked her first flight in a Cessna 152 and never looked back! Eloise now holds a PPL(A) and is working towards her PPL(H). Day to day, Eloise works in the engineering sector. 

Madison had her first flying lesson at the age of 16, falling in love with flying and decided to obtain a PPL(A) from East Midlands Airport. Since then she has gained her commercial pilots licence and built up hours flying in the UK and US. Her goal is to fly for the airlines and continue flying for fun in her spare time. She would love to inspire the next generation into aviation related careers and share how amazing the industry is.

Maddison is a Law Student at the University of Southampton. She loves empowering women through initiatives like Elevate(Her) and she will be resuming her private pilot license (A)  training after she’s graduates!

Jess has always had an interest in aviation and joined the industry after university as airline cabin crew. It is here where she felt truly inspired by her colleagues, and especially looked up to the few female pilots. She now has a PPL(A) and is working towards her ATPL’s, as well as building her hours. Her goal is to be a commercial pilot and hopefully inspire other young females along the way, that they can do the same! Jess also has a real passion for general aviation and loves flying in to different aerodromes, as well as visiting different airshows around the world!

Kate became involved in aviation through engineering. She studied a HNC in aeronautical engineering and volunteered at a local aircraft museum.

In 2022 she moved to Scotland to begin commercial pilot training, Kate is currently completing her ATPL.

Lily spent her childhood growing up under the Heathrow approach path and was always fascinated by aircraft. It wasn't until she joined Southampton University Air Squadron whilst studying for her degree that she realised a career in aviation was within reach. Lily works full time for Draken Europe as an Airworthiness Engineer for fixed wing aircraft, and gained her PPL (A) last summer thanks to the help of scholarships over the last few years.
