I’m a Certified Flight Instructor (CFI/CFII) with a B.S. in Aeronautical Science from Vaughn College and over 600 flight hours. I recently served as Assistant Chief Instructor at a flight school, where I trained students, managed scheduling, and helped keep operations running safely and smoothly. I’m safety-focused, detail-oriented, and genuinely enjoy teaching — I like taking something complex and breaking it down until it clicks for someone. Outside the cockpit, I’m bilingual in English and Russian and reliable under pressure, whether that’s a checkride or a tight deadline.
