Hometown Heroes in Education: Kritti Prasad

Heroes are ordinary people who take extraordinary and courageous actions. California Aeronautical University would like to celebrate those who take heroic steps to reach their dreams and who serve as role models for their communities.

Ambitious STEM Academy Graduate Dreams of Being a Professional Pilot

Hometown Heroes in Education: Kritti Prasad - CAUWhen Kritti Prasad sets her sights on something, she usually achieves it in stride. Having excelled academically at Corona High School STEM Academy, Kritti has now positioned herself to reach her dream job – a professional airline pilot.

A particularly driven and ambitious student, Kritti discovered early on that she had a knack for mechanical tasks and learned 3D modeling, and electrical circuits, and even built a hydrogen/solar-powered car. 

When she decided she wanted to become an airline pilot during her junior year, she explored the physics of flight in her aerospace engineering class, began flight training lessons with the help of the Tuition Reduction she earned, and is even one step away from her first solo flight.

With all of her personal achievements, Kritti has also ensured she supported those around her. She holds leadership positions in NJROTC and the local Civil Air Patrol where she not only commands her platoon but also volunteers her time to guard the flight line so others can safely take their first discovery flight.

Accepted to California Aeronautical University’s fall term, Kritti’s academic and leadership skills will serve her well as she begins her classes in the fast-paced, full-time Bachelor of Science in Aeronautics degree program. 

As a CAU student, she will not only be able to earn her aviation degree in about three years but also benefit from a flight-hour reduction when seeking her ATP certificate – allowing her the opportunity to achieve her dream career that much sooner.

Kritti Prasad loves to draw and immerse herself further into aviation during her spare time and hopes to share her experience as a young female pilot with her fellow classmates at CAU.
