Mount Carmel Academy grad takes off to new heights

NEW ORLEANS (WGNO) — She just graduated from high school and now she’s really taking off.

She is Ava Wimberley, an 18-year-old who just finished at Mount Carmel Academy.

At Mount Carmel, WGNO Good Morning New Orleans features reporter Bill Wood found out, Ava had been considering the kind of career she wanted to have.

She knew it would be a first class ticket to a dream job.

She decided to take off for Purdue University in Indiana.

And there, she would study to become a commercial airline pilot.

“I want to do something that’s exciting but also rewarding,” said Wimberley.

She’s already getting her pilot’s license at home in New Orleans.

“I wanted a career where I was always learning but also having fun everyday,” she said.

She flies for an hour and a half, three times a week.

Now she’s fastening her seatbelt for a new adventure.
