I graduated Parkland College in Champaign, Il in December of 2023 with a 3.51 GPA while receiving an Associates of Science in Aviation. During my time there I received a Commercial Pilot Certificate for ASEL/AMEL with an instrument rating, as well as a CFI Certificate. I have 245.9 of total flight time with 180.2 of those hours as PIC. Of the 18 different written/oral/practical exams I was tested on at Parkland I passed all of them on the first attempt except for my Private Pilot practical exam, where one recheck was needed. During my time training as a CFI candidate I worked with both Private and Commercial students and found the joy of teaching in aviation. I consider myself to be a safe, and enthusiastic pilot that takes flying very seriously. I understand the responsibilities expected of a Flight Instructor and look forward to continuing my career in aviation in that role.
