Trauma nurse turned pilot. I worked as a head nurse on a trauma and neurosurgical unit for 6 years and decided I wanted to pursue something different. I was encouraged to try aviation and have been hooked ever since! I have been very fortunate to gain experience in a wide variety of aircraft and airspace from teaching in a 172 in San Diego, to operating a king air 300 and 350 internationally in and out of dirt farm strips in Baja California, Mexico. I love what I do and I am always looking for new opportunities to build and improve my experience, knowledge, and skills.
