Hard working Indigenous pilot has her eye in the sky
For Meadow Lake resident Daniella Petitti, becoming a pilot was something she imagined she could do, but didn’t have the confidence or resources to get there.
While in her teens, Petitti first went on a flight with a friend and thought “it was so awesome, and so amazing. It really just opened my eyes.”
Eventually, in her late 20s, while working in a medical lab in Calgary, she had a chance encounter with a pilot who heard her story and gifted her $500 to help her take the first step.
And she did.
