Lauren Votaw - Curley is an Oklahoma born transplant to remote Alaska. In the Susitna River valley at the base of Denali, Lauren works as a flight follower for a flight seeing and remote charter company, K2 Aviation. As a graduate of the University of Oklahoma, Lauren has had a unique journey before finding aviation including working with non profits and recruiting. Lauren and her husband Mitchell found themselves called to Alaska during the 2020 COVID 19 pandemic and made the move to pursue a new dream of exploring Denali and the Alaskan wilderness. It was here that Lauren had change in course for careers paths, and found a deep passion for aviation. Lauren understands and appreciates there is a beauty in the balance of adventure but also the structure of a thoughtful, well made flight plan. Lauren is ecstatic to receive the IFOD scholarship for 2022 and is planning on completing the in person course before the end of the year.
