Summary
I am very passionate about aviation and want nothing more than to get my aviation career started. I have had a wide variety of jobs in the past all while being a full time college student so i am very determined to finish college and get started no matter what it take. My passions include flying and firefighting because there is no better feeling than helping those in your community when they are in need of help. Firefighting has taught me a lot of things that will roll over into aviation such as good decision making skills, patience, helping others learn, thinking quickly and swiftly under pressure and most importantly safety.
