I’m a Certified Flight Instructor (CFI/CFII) passionate about helping others achieve their aviation goals while continuing to work toward my own dream of flying for the airlines. I completed my flight training through the accelerated Part 141 program at Thrust Flight in Addison, Texas, where I earned my Instrument Rating, Commercial Single-Engine, CFI, and CFII certificates. I also built valuable experience through split-time flying with other pilots, allowing me to gain flight hours, improve my decision-making, and fly in a variety of aircraft and environments. Those experiences, combined with instructing, have strengthened my skills as a pilot and reinforced my commitment to safety, professionalism, and lifelong learning.
