Summary
Throughout my flight attendant career, I took pride in helping passengers feel safe and cared for. That responsibility became especially clear during medical emergencies, when a medical professional was not always available on board. Those experiences inspired me to earn my vocational nursing license while continuing to fly and later complete a Bachelor of Science in Nursing. I’m eager to bring my aviation experience and nursing education to American Airlines, continuing to build my career while providing calm, attentive care to passengers and supporting my crew.
