Eagle Profile

Jessica Cox, born in 1983 in Sierra Vista, Arizona, was born without arms due to a rare congenital condition. From an early age, she learned to navigate life using her feet, developing independence, resilience, and determination. In 2008, she made history as the world’s first licensed armless pilot, flying a light-sport aircraft using only her feet and redefining what is possible in aviation. She is also a black belt in Taekwondo, a graduate of the University of Arizona with a degree in psychology, and an internationally recognized motivational speaker and author of Disarm Your Limits. Through her global speaking and advocacy, Jessica inspires audiences to challenge limitations and embrace adaptability, leadership, and confidence.
