I am a Wilmington resident, professional pilot, certified flight instructor and full-time mom. She received a BA degree in Physiology and Psychology from St. Mary’s College in California. I was a flight attendant for United Airlines early in my career but realized I was more fascinated with what was happening in the cockpit versus the passenger section of the plane and made the switch to become a professional pilot. I accomplished my training at Comair Aviation Academy, a Part 141 Flight School, and received all of her ratings in just 10 months. After 2 1​/​2 years as a flight instructor, I was hired by Comair Airlines, a wholly-owned subsidiary of Delta Airlines, where I flew as a commercial pilot for 5 years. I eventually found my way to Wilmington, NC where I have been a flight instructor since 2015. I have accumulated over 6,800 hours of total flight time which includes over 2,500 with commercial airlines and 3,550 of dual instruction. I also serve the Wilmington general aviation community by serving as the local Federal Aviation Administration Safety Team (FAAST) representative. My dedication to aviation safety is one of her passions and I am committed to helping to improve the nation’s aviation accident rate by conveying safety principles through training, outreach, and education.
