I remember being young and looking up into the sky. I remember loving the thought of flying but never really knowing what exactly I wanted to do with that love. Then, when I was 13 years old, I saw a friend go to the mission field serving in the area of plane mechanics. When I saw him follow his dream, I thought, “That’s what I want to do!” Ever since then, I have been pursuing that goal. In the year of 2023, I had the amazing opportunity to go to Alaska and shadow the same plane mechanic that piqued my interest in mission aviation. It was a really good trip! I had the chance to work alongside my friend and discover the enjoyment I received from this career option as well as what it meant to me doing it in a serving capacity. I’ve always liked the thought of smaller airplanes as well as the idea of working on them. My passion is planes and helping people! My plan is to be able to do both by becoming a missionary pilot/mechanic. My hope is that I can go out of the United States to serve in this way. From what I have seen, planes are very important in the mission field due to the fact that they can get to so many more places than boats or cars. I want to go into this field so I can serve the Lord to the best of my abilities in an area where I can tell it would be a very big help. My first priority in moving forward is getting my AMT license. After that, I would like to get at least a PPL and then possibly a CPL, depending on what's needed the most. I have chosen to get my AMT first so that I can get a job right away to be able to make money to continue my plan to acquire my PPL next. I’m getting ready to go to the School of Missionary Aviation Technology or otherwise known as SMAT. A common question I have come across is, “Where do you see yourself in five or ten years?” My answer to that is, “I see myself in five years off in a different country working on and flying planes, transporting supplies to people that can’t get them very easily.” I know that is kind of a broad answer, that is because there are things I need to figure out as I go along. However, I have a basic structure of what I want to do. Another good reason I see for pursuing this field is, there is so much opportunity! Pilots and mechanics are in high demand pretty much everywhere you go! I hear so much about how there aren’t very many people who want to go to work. That isn’t me! I have found a lot of purpose in why I want to go into aviation. I have a drive to work hard to make that happen. I don’t have much of a history in aviation. It doesn't run in my family. I will be a first generation aviator.

I have chosen to get my AMT first so that I can get a job right away to be able to make money to continue my plan to acquire my PPL next. I’m getting ready to go to the School of Missionary Aviation Technology or otherwise known as SMAT. A common question I have come across is, “Where do you see yourself in five or ten years?” My answer to that is, “I see myself in five years off in a different country working on and flying planes, transporting supplies to people that can’t get them very easily.” I know that is kind of a broad answer, that is because there are things I need to figure out as I go along. However, I have a basic structure of what I want to do. Another good reason I see for pursuing this field is, there is so much opportunity! Pilots and mechanics are in high demand pretty much everywhere you go! I hear so much about how there aren’t very many people who want to go to work. That isn’t me! I have found a lot of purpose in why I want to go into aviation. I have a drive to work hard to make that happen. I don’t have much of a history in aviation. It doesn't run in my family. I will be a first generation aviator.

I remember being young and looking up into the sky. I remember loving the thought of flying but never really knowing what exactly I wanted to do with that love. Then, when I was 13 years old, I saw a friend go to the mission field serving in the area of plane mechanics. When I saw him follow his dream, I thought, “That’s what I want to do!” Ever since then, I have been pursuing that goal. In the year of 2023, I had the amazing opportunity to go to Alaska and shadow the same plane mechanic that piqued my interest in mission aviation. It was a really good trip! I had the chance to work alongside my friend and discover the enjoyment I received from this career option as well as what it meant to me doing it in a serving capacity. I’ve always liked the thought of smaller airplanes as well as the idea of working on them. My passion is planes and helping people! My plan is to be able to do both by becoming a missionary pilot/mechanic. My hope is that I can go out of the United States to serve in this way. From what I have seen, planes are very important in the mission field due to the fact that they can get to so many more places than boats or cars. I want to go into this field so I can serve the Lord to the best of my abilities in an area where I can tell it would be a very big help. My first priority in moving forward is getting my AMT license. After that, I would like to get at least a PPL and then possibly a CPL, depending on what's needed the most.
