I began my professional career in the film industry as a Set Designer and Art Director, where I spent over seven years leading complex, deadline-driven productions in fast-paced, high-pressure environments. With no prior connection to aviation, I made the decision to pursue a career as a professional pilot—a challenge that has become one of the most rewarding experiences of my life. In just over two years, I earned my CFI, CFII, and MEI certificates while building a strong foundation in flight instruction and aviation operations. As both a flight instructor and aircraft owner, I have developed a deeper understanding of the industry beyond the cockpit, gaining firsthand experience with aircraft ownership, maintenance planning, regulatory compliance, and operational decision-making. This perspective has strengthened my technical knowledge, professionalism, and appreciation for safe, efficient flight operations. I strive to bring calm decision-making, clear communication, and a positive learning environment to every flight while maintaining the highest standards of safety and professionalism.
