Summary

I am currently working toward my Private Pilot Certificate and have completed nearly all of my required flight training. Through my training in the Cessna 152, I have gained experience in aircraft operations, navigation, radio communications, weather interpretation, cross-country flight planning, and aeronautical decision-making. I am committed to continuing my flight education while maintaining a strong academic record and balancing extracurricular activities. My goal is to earn my Private Pilot Certificate before beginning my collegiate aviation program and continue progressing toward a professional pilot career.
