My name is Jordon Gyapong, and I am a junior at the University of North Dakota. Originally from Mount Vernon, NY I’m a Commercial Aviation major with a specialization in aviation business. I’m currently flying in the mighty Piper Seminole and working on my commercial multi-engine rating. Besides flying, I enjoy music, and I collect many vinyl records. You can also catch me and my many flying adventures on YouTube.

My name is Paige Bishop, and I’m a sophomore at Purdue University studying professional flight (Boiler Up)! I was born and raised in Southern Indiana, about an hour south of Indianapolis. In my free time outside of flight training, I enjoy spending time outdoors with my family and friends – whether that’s at the lake, playing tennis, or visiting national parks! This past semester I became a commercial & instrument-rated pilot, so right now, I’m working on my multi-engine add-on as well as flight instructor training. There are endless career opportunities in aviation, but someday I hope to fly for a business that values safety, professionalism & ensures a quality customer experience. I’m so happy to be able to represent both Piper Aircraft & Purdue University in our partnership to offer quality flight training in our top-of-the-line aircraft!

My name is Carson Calhoun and I am a freshman Commercial Aviation student at the University of North Dakota currently enrolled in instrument training. I decided to get my private pilot certificate in Minot, ND, while attending White Shield High School my senior year. I am the first in my family to become a pilot and pursue this career path! I am extremely excited for this opportunity to meet new people and go new places through the Piper Brand Ambassador Program while continuing my education at UND!

My name is Piper Hechtl and I’m from Davis, California. I’m a junior in the John D. Odegard School of Aerospace Sciences at the University of North Dakota, majoring in Commercial Aviation with a specialization in Aviation Business. I’m an instrument rated private pilot working towards my commercial certificate. I also have a few hours of multi engine time. I’m looking forward to inspiring the next generation of aviators by representing Piper as a Brand Ambassador, as well as showing my school pride! I’m so excited to work with the other Piper Ambassadors, and I’m excited to share my UND Aerospace journey!

My name is Elle Taylor, and I am from Rosemount, Minnesota. I am currently getting a Bachelor’s degree in Aviation at Minnesota State University Mankato. I am almost finished with my Private Pilot’s License, and plan to become an instructor at North Star Aviation! One day, I want to work for a major airline just like my dad. I enjoy traveling and sharing my love for aviation through my social media pages with all of you!

My name is Hunter Roehrig, and I’m proud to be one of the ambassadors from the University of North Dakota. I’m in my second year of flight training, and I’m currently working on my multi-engine rating in the Piper Seminole. Throughout my training, my favorite experience has been instrument flying over the summer in North Dakota. I started flying in my senior year of high school, and I’m working towards a career in general aviation. While working as a Piper Ambassador, I’ve been able to showcase my love of flying with many other young aspiring aviators, while also showcasing what it’s like to fly in one of Piper’s trainer aircraft. I can’t wait for what’s to come in my aviation career and to see where the industry grows in the coming years!

Hi! My name is Emily Royster, and I am a student at L3Harris Flight Academy in Sanford, Florida.
