I began flight training in March 2022 during my junior year of high school in a Part 61 training program, obtaining my Private Pilot License in January of the following year. In August 2023, I enrolled in Aims Community College’s Professional Pilot Part 141 program, which I recently completed. In addition to my structured Part 141 training, I have accumulated over 100 flight hours pursuing multiple unique missions, such as flying almost halfway across the country. I take my Instructor certificate not just as permission to teach but as a commitment to continue learning and exploring what I do not know, and to delve more deeply into what I do know. As my experience grows, so does my desire to give back by using what I have learned in aviation and beyond to mentor, lead, and support others in their own aviation journeys.
