I’m a first-generation college student and aspiring pilot currently studying Aviation Flight Technology at Mercer County Community College. I am currently a Private Pilot and now train for my Commercial Pilot Certificate and Instrument Rating. My vision is to become a commercial airline pilot. Giving back to my community has always been a priority. Whether organizing service projects through Scouting, volunteering at local events, or helping younger students find their voice, service has taught me empathy, responsibility, and the importance of creating spaces where everyone can succeed. Outside of school and aviation, I’m a strong public speaker and enjoy bringing people together through shared goals and purpose. I’ve learned to lead through challenges, stay grounded in my values, and rise to meet high expectations, whether in a leadership role or in the cockpit. I’m grateful for every opportunity that brings me closer to my dream.
