Summary
After graduation, I was a dedicated Flight Instructor for the University I graduated from. While I was there, I was in charge of instructing 8-10 students and eventually became a stage check instructor for evaluating other students progress. Post flight instructing I furthered my career at Horizon Airlines as a First Officer on the Q400 and E175 where eventually my experience took me to United Airlines
