Instructor Bio

As a child of two flight attendants, I was introduced to planes at an early age. However, pursuing a career as a pilot always remained out of reach financially. A degree in history, a career in hotels, and a pandemic later, I finally found the time and the resources to start. Like many others, the journey has been full of highs, lows, twists, and turns but my love for flying persists. I now firmly believe that nothing can replace what you truly want to do. 

Having completed my CFI initial and looked back at my full flight training experience, I can safely say I would not have kept my sanity if not for the incredible support of my instructors and examiners. It is with this important responsibility in mind that I approach teaching and coaching. Flight training can sometimes be incredibly frustrating and arduous, but it is more than possible with the right support around you. And I would be honored to be a small part of that journey. See you in the skies!
