Bio

Aviation has been my path since I was six, and I’ve pursued it with hard work, leadership, and a commitment to serving others. I am a Commercial Aviation student at the University of North Dakota, working toward my Instrument and Commercial ratings while staying active in organizations such as LPA, SAMA, WAI, and Lions Club International, as well as serving as a UND Student Ambassador and Presidential Leadership Fellow. Along the way, I’ve earned my Private Pilot Certificate, completed 47 college credits in high school, and maintained a 4.0 GPA while gaining real-world experience through initiatives like the Fly Iowa Challenge and national leadership opportunities in aviation. My goal is to become a professional pilot who uses aviation to serve others, strengthen the aviation community, and create greater access and opportunity in the industry.
