Summary
I am a 4th year San Jose State University student studying under the Aviation and Technology major, with a focus in Professional Flight. With my parents in the State Department, I grew up overseas, mostly in Eastern Europe. I have been interested in aviation since a young age and always pursued experiences related to flying. After training in gliders as a teenager, I obtained my Private Pilot Certificate at the age of 17. Once starting at SJSU I continued my training to pass my Certified Flight Instructor Certificate in June of 2023.
