Lauren Votaw-Curley is an Oklahoma-born transplant to remote Alaska. In the Susitna River valley at the base of Denali, Lauren works as a flight follower for a flightseeing and remote charter company, K2 Aviation. As a graduate of the University of Oklahoma, Lauren has had a unique journey before finding aviation including working with nonprofits and recruiting. Lauren and her husband Mitchell found themselves called to Alaska during the 2020 COVID-19 pandemic and made the move to pursue a new dream of exploring Denali and the Alaskan wilderness. It was here that Lauren had a change in course for career paths and found a deep passion for aviation. Lauren understands and appreciates there is a beauty in the balance of adventure but also the structure of a thoughtful, well-made flight plan.
