Bio

I am a first-generation student who dreams of pursuing a STEM career in Aviation and air transportation, and would like to become an airline captain. I am attending Ohio University double majoring in Aviation Flight and Aviation Management with minors in Business Administration and Communication Studies. I hope to earn my private pilot license, as well as instruments and ratings necessary to become a Certified Flight Instructor. I have been involved in multiple extracurricular activities, volunteer opportunities, and peer-to-peer tutoring for students in my community throughout my time in school. I look forward to continuing my volunteerism throughout my life, as well as pursuing philanthropy and humanitarianism efforts!
