The Written Word About Lola
Videos
Lola Reid Allin is a dynamic, engaging, and experienced educator and passionate speaker who tailors each presentation to the group in front of her.
She loves sharing her travel adventures spiced with personal anecdotes and insider tips via PowerPoint photographs and maps.
As a professional pilot, Lola encountered opposition to her non-traditional career choice. Now. she acts as a role model for girls and young women —you can’t be what you can’t see— and enjoys speaking to children and adults about the lesser-known achievements of women in aviation history.
Since her presentation uses power point, Lola will bring her laptop, but requires that the school/organization provide a projector, smart board, or screen, and a microphone (dependant upon audience size).
Each presentation is approximately 1 hour, including time allowed for audience Q&A.
