My journey toward aviation has been shaped by hard work and determination. From a young age, I learned the importance of responsibility while working in agricultural fields to help support my family. Working long hours in difficult conditions taught me perseverance, discipline, and the value of taking every opportunity seriously. Those same qualities have guided me throughout my aviation training and continue to motivate me as I work toward becoming a professional pilot.

I currently have 365  total flight hours, including over 40 hours of multi-engine experience, 74 hours in high-performance and complex aircraft, and more than 79 hours of cross-country flight time. Through my flight training in the Pacific Northwest, I have gained valuable experience operating in busy airspace and challenging weather conditions, including low ceilings, reduced visibility, and icing conditions. These experiences have helped me develop strong decision-making skills, situational awareness, and the ability to stay focused and prepared while maintaining safety as my top priority.
