I am a highly disciplined aviation professional with over 1,500 hours of total flight time and extensive experience in pilot training and evaluation. Currently serving as a Check Airman and Gold Seal CFI/CFII at Phoenix East Aviation, I specialize in conducting progress checks and final evaluations to ensure strict compliance with FAA ACS standards. My role involves managing remedial flight reviews and maintaining high-level documentation within the flight training department.

I am currently completing my Master of Aeronautical Science and Safety at Embry-Riddle Aeronautical University with a 4.0 GPA (Expected May 2026). With a Bachelor’s degree in Aircraft Maintenance and Operation Engineering, I offer a unique technical perspective on aircraft systems and safety. Having completed the ATP CTP, I am now seeking to leverage my leadership and technical expertise as a First Officer to contribute to an airline’s operational excellence.
