I am a commercial pilot and certified flight instructor (CFI) pursuing a dream of flying professionally for an airline. Aside from the acquisition of certificates and ratings, this dream has prompted me to gain industry experience through an enriching flight operations internship at a major airline and to achieve broader insight into airport ground operations as an aircraft detailer. Customer service experience in retail, health/fitness, and community settings has cemented my desire to work in a customer-facing pilot role. In pursuit of leadership skills that can be applied both inside and outside of the cockpit, I have participated in numerous extracurricular activities with a strong emphasis on mentorship and service. This experience includes volunteering with religious and community organizations, serving as a representative of my school to prospective students, and holding a position on the board of a campus club. I look forward to a career in which I can exceed customer expectations and inspire the next generation of aviators.
