As a dedicated aviation professional holding a Commercial Multi-Engine Certificate and CFII rating, I thrive at the intersection of flight operations, instruction, and safety. My three years managing gate operations at Ronald Reagan Washington National Airport (DCA) for Piedmont Airlines have equipped me with critical frontline experience in Part 121 operations, IROPS management, and high stakes turnaround coordination. I am currently focused on building flight hours as an instructor, leveraging my operational background to develop safe, proficient pilots while preparing for a career on the commercial flight deck.

Highlights

Cover Letter
August 1, 2026 To give you a better sense of who I am beyond my resume, here are a few notes regarding my background and experience: I believe that true professionalism in aviation is defined by how we handle setbacks and our commitment to continuous improvement. I define my character through unwavering commitment and self motivation. A prime example of this is my dedication to playing the drums for the past 15 years, a discipline that taught me the value of consistency, rhythm, and long-term focus. I apply that same relentless drive to my aviation career. Balancing the rigorous flight training required to earn my Instrument and Commercial ratings alongside my three years of operational work at DCA has demanded exceptional time management and strict professionalism. Whether I am advancing through my current school or managing a busy schedule, I know how to stay motivated and get the job done right. I carry this resilience and dedication to precision into everything I do. Working as a gate agent for Piedmont Airlines at Reagan National Airport (DCA) has provided me with invaluable insight into the operational side of the aviation industry. Balancing strict departure schedules, managing passenger expectations, and coordinating with flight crews in a fast-paced environment has honed my communication skills and given me a deep appreciation for safety and efficiency on the ramp.
