I’m an FAA-certified Commercial Pilot (ASEL, AMEL, Instrument) with 1,250+ hours of flight experience and a background in both flight operations and professional instruction. My experience as a flight instructor in a structured Part 141 environment has strengthened my ability to operate safely, communicate effectively, manage risk, and make sound decisions in dynamic environments.

I take pride in being disciplined, adaptable, and committed to continuous improvement. Whether operating as a pilot, working with a team, or taking on new responsibilities, I bring a strong work ethic, attention to detail, and a genuine commitment to safety and professionalism.

I’m currently seeking opportunities to continue building my experience within professional aviation and contribute to an organization that values safety, reliability, teamwork, and operational excellence.
