Hello everyone!

My name is pronounced Ed-reen, and I’m an enthusiastic first-generation pilot looking to take the next step into the aviation world. I started aviation in college during summer break and couldn’t get enough, and decided to turn it into a fulfilling career. After I graduated with a Bachelor’s of Engineering in Aerospace with a focus on propulsion, I gained the rest of my certificates and ratings at a local Part 61 school, which taught me a lot in terms of aircraft ownership, management and maintenance, customer service, as well as the surrounding Part 91/135/121 operators. I currently hold my CFI-I and planning to have my MEI in the near future. I previously worked at the flight school which had taught me but desired growth in newer and more practical experience which has led me to where I am today. Presently, I am conducting freelance flight instruction of all applicable ratings while maintaining a high presence in the local aviation community by working at Signature Aviation as well as volunteering as much time as practical to Civil Air Patrol.
