Ever since I was young, aviation has been something that genuinely excited and inspired me. What started as a fascination with airplanes quickly turned into a true passion for flying, teamwork, professionalism, and the responsibility that comes with operating an aircraft safely. I attended North Carolina State University, where I earned my Bachelor of Science in Sport Management while continuing to pursue my aviation goals. I currently hold my Private Pilot Certificate and Instrument Rating and am finishing my Commercial Pilot training through Academy of Aviation.

One of the things I value most about aviation is that no two days are ever the same. I genuinely enjoy the environment, the constant learning, the teamwork involved in successful operations, and the professionalism that aviation demands. Safety is something I take extremely seriously, and I pride myself on being prepared, detail-oriented, calm under pressure, and always willing to learn from those around me.

I work very well with people and enjoy being part of a strong team environment. Whether it is working with instructors, pilots, maintenance personnel, dispatch, or customers, I believe communication, attitude, and reliability matter just as much as technical skill. My background in athletics, customer service, and aviation has helped shape me into someone who is hardworking, coachable, personable, and motivated to continue improving every day.

More than anything, I am passionate about building a long-term career in aviation and being part of an operation that values professionalism, safety, and teamwork. I am excited to continue gaining experience, learning from others in the industry, and contributing wherever I can.

Being part of a collegiate program taught me how important preparation, consistency, and supporting the people around you truly are. Outside of competition, I also volunteered at local youth golf centers and junior golf programs, helping introduce younger players to the game and creating a positive environment for them to learn and grow. Those experiences strengthened my communication skills, patience, leadership abilities, and reinforced how much I enjoy mentoring and working with others. During my time there, I was able to balance athletics, academics, and team responsibilities while continuing to grow as an individual. Following the challenges and changes brought on by COVID, I ultimately made the decision to transfer to North Carolina State University to pursue opportunities within their academic programs and continue progressing toward my long-term professional goals.
