As a new first officer, I'm typed on Endeavor's fleet of CRJ 700/900 aircraft. Currently based in New York, I hope to build experience before eventually looking for expanded roles within flight ops as a pilot. Thus far, flying the CRJ has been a great experience, flexing my legs in my first ever jet.

In my second role at Endeavor Air - I was assigned to help promote the airline to other aviation students at Minnesota State University - Mankato. Using my experience in my previous role at Endeavor Air, I was excited to present all the great things Endeavor has to offer to my fellow students. This was an excellent way to continue my work at Endeavor, network with students and airline pilots, and have more time to be a flight instructor.

In 2022, I was remotely employed as a virtual host with the Flight Operations - Ground Training department of Endeavor Air. I worked to create, schedule, and distribute virtual training ground courses for pilots. During these sessions, I monitored the training and assisted the instructor with any issues that arose, as well as assisted pilots with any technical issues on their end. I love this job as it gave me a glimpse into life as an airline pilot and allowed me to become acclimated with what ground training at an airline could be like in the future. In January of 2023, I was thrilled to have accepted a different position within the company as a Brand Ambassador - working to share my experiences and enthusiasm for Endeavor Air and it’s hiring initiatives for students at my university.

In this new position, I was selected to help train new Mutli-engine instructor applicants through North Star’s 141 training course outline. My 9 months of experience teaching and exceptional pass rate among my students made me eligible for the opportunity. In this position I helped teach the fundamentals of instructing to new instructor applicants both on the ground and in the air.

At North Star, I worked with students individually and provide their one-on-one flight instruction that works hand-in-hand with their classroom instruction at Minnesota State University. I’ve found instructing to be very rewarding and appreciated the opportunity to work with students from my former college.

To supplement my income at the end of my flight training, and during my time instructing during delays or bad weather, I worked for Smien's Inc., an independent delivery provider for FedEx ground. I worked odd hours, weekends, and holidays to help make ends meet delivering packages in a traditional FedEx parcel truck. In addition - this was also my first DOT sensitive position. This was a wonderful way to keep myself afloat and kept me sharp on reliability and occasionally my people skills. I'm grateful for the role this job filled during my time in Mankato.

Mankato, Minnesota, United States

At Walmart, I worked in Rice Lake, WI, St. Croix Falls, WI, Mankato, MN. I helped fulfill, dispense, and troubleshoot online orders at management's discretion. I was also individually assigned to follow up with customer feedback surveys, and resolve as necessary. I filled management tasks when able and also helped in positions on front end, stock steams (day and night), and special assignments at store at management discretion.One of the reasons I stuck with Walmart all that time is the associate scholar program. 10% of student-employees who apply are accepted, and I was one of the last associates to receive this great honor - as 2020 was the last year the program was offered. I received $1,500 per semester that I put towards tuition, books, and flight costs while attending MSU-Mankato.

Amery, Wisconsin, United States

At the Amery School District, I used my computer / musical skills to work the sound & light booth at various events. Events ranged from private events by community groups to school board presentations to musicals and plays. This was a great experience as it helped my passions in both music and computer handware / software and put them to great use throughout high school.

New Richmond, Wisconsin, United States

At Papa Murphy's, I again worked mainly food preparation and cashiering. I answered phone calls, prepared orders, rang them up, and helped close up the store / count cash registers.

Saint Croix Falls, Wisconsin, United States

At Poco Loco, I worked mainly food preparation, serving, and cashiering. I prepared customer orders, answered their questions, and paid out their orders. This was a great learning experience for both my Spanish speaking skills, and to help sharpen my customer service skills.

Amery, Wisconsin, United States

At McDonald's, I learned new policies and procedures and taught them to new and existing employees in all positions throughout the store. Filled any role in the store as management saw fit - including person in charge responsibilities, when needed. For a first job - this was a great experience as an introduction to customer service and some leadership skills.
