Tania Rivers

Chapter Chair & Webmaster

I grew up in Switzerland and Spain, frequently traveling between the two countries and finding myself peeking through cockpit doors, mesmerized by the intricate controls and the view from the pilot’s seat. In 2016, I moved to San Diego and eventually decided to turn that childhood dream into reality. Today, I am an Instrument Rated Private Pilot (ASEL) and a Private Pilot (ASES), currently working toward my Commercial Pilot Certificate. My long-term aspiration is to become an airline pilot.

I am proud to serve as Chair and Webmaster of the San Diego Chapter of the Ninety-Nines, having previously served as Secretary and Vice-Chair. I also created our chapter's website and enjoy contributing to a community that supports and inspires women in aviation.

Fun facts: I have lived in three countries, speak four languages, traveled to 29 countries, ridden the fastest roller coaster in the world, and have been riding motorcycles for over 10 years!
