My friend Sandy Bendixen is the definition of having and reaching long-term goals. For nearly her entire life, she has wanted to be a pilot, and that goal recently became her reality. Sandy is now the newest pilot in Puget Sound.
I met Sandy in college, and we have remained good friends throughout the years. I have always been impressed by her knowledge, expertise, and professionalism, and lately it’s become clear that I’m far from the only one impressed. It has been so inspiring to watch the local maritime industry support her and cheer her on as she continues to excel at her job.
