Instructor Bio

I began my aviation journey in 2018 at the age of 14, when I started flying gliders in Maricopa, AZ. From that first flight, I knew aviation would be a lifelong passion. After completing the majority of my training with the UND Aerospace Foundation in Mesa, AZ, I recently moved to the Seattle area to become a flight instructor.

Outside of aviation, I have spent many summers in Vancouver, Canada, and love exploring what the Pacific Northwest has to offer, especially fishing! I am excited to be here as a flight instructor, ready to help you achieve your aviation goals.

Throughout my training, I was fortunate to learn from many excellent flight instructors who helped me develop my skills. I am passionate about flight instructing and committed to providing high-quality instruction. Whether your goal is to become an airline pilot or simply to take friends and family up for a flight, I will ensure that you become a safe and competent pilot.
