I began my aviation career when I was 18 years old. In 2007 I earned my CFI, and then continued to earn my CFII, and MEI, and Gold Seal while flight instructing for 5 years. I then went on to fly for the SkyWest airlines for 4 1/2 years flying the Brasilia and the CRJ 200/700/900. After having my first son, I interviewed and was hired by Delta Air Lines where I have flown the B757/767, and now fly the A220.
I am the first airline pilot in my family, so I didn’t have anybody to talk to about what to expect- getting hired, training, the lifestyle, pay, being a mother and a pilot, etc. I had a lot of obstacles to overcome because of that, and now I have knowledge and expertise that I would like to pass on to you so you don’t have to struggle like I did. I am dedicated to keeping you motivated so YOU can get your dream job and live a happy and fulfilled life.
