Summary
I'm an aviation graduate with a strong passion for both aviation and business. Over the years, I've worked my way up from fast food jobs in high school to playing a key role in a multi-million-dollar private company. Along the way, I've learned a lot about working with people, solving problems, and helping organizations grow. With a degree in Aeronautics and Business, I'm eager to combine both fields and contribute to a company that values innovation and growth.
