Abbi Gayle

Facilitator & Programs Assistant

For Abbi, aviation is more than a career path, it’s a powerful force for connection. With roots in Political Science and Sociology, and a strong foundation in advocacy for ethnic minority communities, Abbi sees aviation as a unique space where diverse voices, backgrounds, and stories can intersect, grow, and soar. Her aviation journey is driven by a deep love of flight and a belief in its ability to break barriers — geographical, cultural, and social.

As a student pilot, she’s passionate about making the skies more inclusive and accessible for everyone, especially those historically underrepresented in the field. During her time with Elevate Aviation, Abbi has helped bring aviation to life for youth nationwide, offering immersive simulator experiences, aircraft walk-arounds, and inspiring conversations about what’s possible. She believes that when people feel seen, supported, and uplifted, the sky is no longer the limit.
