Hello! I'm Rebecca. I am an aspiring airline pilot. Simultaneously, I am in the midst of my senior year at Liberty University pursuing my bachelor's in aviation. I currently hold a 3.95 GPA and expect to graduate Summa Cum Laude. Traveling became crucial to me at a young age. My father worked for American Airlines, and we often spent day trips in foreign cities. I was born to a Brazilian mother and a Hungarian father, which contributed to a diverse upbringing. I graduated early from high school, eager to begin training. Right after my first solo cross-country flight, I won a contest for a helicopter discovery flight. The generosity of the donor opened my eyes to a deep-rooted passion for learning. I have participated in 3 FAA research studies, particularly for remote tower operations at the National Aerospace Research Technology Airpark. I'm currently an instructor on a Flight Scheduling Design study. I hope to obtain my master's degree in human factors and ergonomics. My current capstone project is on aviation mental health and it is a proposal called ‘The Iatrogenic Sentinel’, meant to offer self-grounding recommendations to pilots dealing with intense schedules. I intend to become a multi-engine instructor and then apply to graduate school shortly after. Thank you for reading!
