Ellee Bloom

Student Pilot Co-Chair

I am a recent private pilot and currently pursuing my instrument rating. Before pursuing flying as a career, I worked in defense contracting and tech startups. I started flying in March 2025 and have never looked back - it’s been the most challenging yet rewarding experience of my life!

I was raised in NorCal and moved to San Diego 10 years ago to attend UCSD which is where I met my husband. I am a strong believer in the power of community, so I am very excited to get more involved in our chapter of the 99s and support my fellow student pilots in this role!
