2023 Flight Crew Member & Navy JROTC Cadet Featured in Military Families Magazine

A junior from Placentia, California, Ariana joined the Million Girls Moonshot Flight Crew in 2023. Upon this announcement, Military Families Magazine reached out to Ariana to discuss her out-of-school experience in her high school’s Navy Junior Reserve Officers' Training Corps (JROTC), her passion for cyber security and engineering, as well as her mission to inspire other girls to pursue STEM learning.

“I don’t think a lot of people think about what they say to girls about STEM, and I’ve seen how that has an impact on young girls, especially when they hear it from their peers or see it on media.” -Ariana, 2023 Flight Crew
