Literary Aviatrix: The Power of Story - Women in Aviation
Aviatrix Book Club October 2023 Coast Guard H65 Dauphin Helicopter Flight Mechanic Ashlee Leppert talks about rescue response during Hurricane Harvey, earning the Air Medal, and being an honored guest at the State of the Union Address
In this interview with Coast Guard Aviation Electronics Technician and H65 Dolphin Helicopter Flight Mechanic, Ashlee Leppert, we talk about her memoir The Hurricane Within, which recounts her experiences in the Hurricane Harvey disaster response while she simultaneously endured troubling and mysterious physical symptoms that eventually grounded her from flying. Ashlee talks about her medical journey, how her faith guided her through her PTSD, her transition to civilian life, and how she hopes to pay it forward as an author, speaker, and life coach.
Ashlee earned an air medal for contributions to Harvey recovery efforts and was an honored guest at the State of the Union Address.
Thank you, Ashlee, for showing the world what it looks like to be a Coast Guard helicopter flight mechanic, and for sharing your story for others to benefit.
