Born and raised in California with a PhD in Chemistry from UC Berkeley, Vicky is an accomplished pilot, skydiver, aerobatic performer, and air racer. In fact, in 2015 she became the “Fastest Woman Racer” ever in the history of the Reno Air Races when she qualified an Aero Vodochody jet on the racecourse at 469.831 mph. Now that’s FAST!

Vicky also, in 2018, appeared in the Netflix movie, “Mercury 13” while flying the Stearman that she’ll be flying on June 24!

The speaker presentation format offers a unique opportunity to have the entire family meet Vicky and ask her questions in a more intimate setting than out on the ramp.
