KELLY REYNOLDS

Born and raised in Fairbanks, Alaska, Kelly Reynolds is a second-generation pilot who flies her Piper PA-14 year-round, chasing adventure through hunting, hiking, photography, exploring, and backcountry skiing. Kelly earned her Bachelor’s degree in Business Marketing from the University of Alaska Fairbanks and has built a career in marketing, communications, and public relations. Her professional work and her passion for flying are both grounded in the same values - community, connection, and stewardship.

Having completed her flight training in Fairbanks, she understands that starting and finishing the journey into aviation can be challenging, and she hopes to help others navigate that path. Through her role on the Alaska Airmen’s Association Board, Kelly hopes to inspire and support more young pilots, especially women, to take to the skies. She believes there’s no perfect path to becoming a pilot, and with the support of Alaska’s strong aviation community, she aims to help make those paths more accessible.
