Jeanne Deaver
Boeing 737 Pilot
Mechanical Engineer
As a kid growing up in Western Nebraska, my favorite hobby was staring up at the sky… watching airplanes fly overhead during the day and seeing so many stars visible in the night sky. At the age of 17, my family moved to South Dakota. My favorite classes at Sturgis Brown were Math and Physics! My teacher, Larry Hines, saw my enthusiasm and encouraged me to pursue a career in STEM from South Dakota School of Mines. I earned a BS in Mechanical Engineering and began my career at the Boeing Company.
Flying as a flight test engineer in the back of Boeing test airplanes inspired a desire to learn how to fly myself. I started taking flying lessons, eventually earned all of my ratings, flew as a flight instructor, and at a regional airline and finally achieved my goal. Alaska Airlines hired me a little over five years ago and now I finally fly Boeing airplanes!! I look forward to talking to you about the importance of STEM, how a STEM education can benefit a non-STEM career, and how mentoring is an important for everyone.
