Flight School Mentors

Flight School mentors are a diverse group of students from all over the world. Many have different majors, backgrounds, and experiences, but all share an interest in helping facilitate connections between themselves and their students.

Year: Senior
Major: Accounting, business administration with a concentration in operations and business analytics
Minor: Computer information technology
Hometown: Tigard, Oregon
Personal Interests: I love to bake sourdough, hike, ski, try new restaurants with my friends, and cook.

Madeline Davis

"I wish that I had a program like this my freshman year, but I am overjoyed that I have met such amazing mentees, and I hope to stay connected with them once I graduate."

Year: Senior
Major: Business administration with a concentration in finance
Minor: Media studies
Hometown: Temecula, California
Personal Interests: Ballet, good puzzles, and sketching every now and then.

Year: Junior
Major: Business administration with a concentration in operations and business analytics
Minor: Psychology
Hometown: Bay Area, California
Personal Interests: Investing, the outdoors, music, movies, and cars.

Minor: Media studies
Hometown: Plymouth, Massachusetts
Personal Interests: I'll take any chance I get to be outside. I enjoy hiking, skiing, soccer, and running. My newest hobby has been film photography, so it has been fun teaching myself new skills.

Hometown: Portland, Oregon
Personal Interests: I enjoy hiking, traveling, and biking.

Jess Thompson

"I meet with my students once a week and I always look forward to it—they're witty, determined, and extremely fun. Making connections over Zoom is hard, and I'm really grateful that Flight School is allowing me to show incoming students that it is still possible."

"Flight School has been a great way to connect with others during the hardest time to do so. It's exciting to meet with my mentees every week and help them navigate through the Lundquist College of Business and University of Oregon in general!"

Major: Business administration
Minor: Spanish and economics
Hometown: Orange County, California
