Flight & Ground Instruction - KDWH
Licensed as a pilot at 17, I developed a passion for aviation early on. After earning my Master’s in Education, I pursued my Certified Flight Instructor (CFI) certification to provide students with the kind of high-quality, student-focused instruction I once sought myself. My approach blends real-world flying experience with a strong educational foundation to help future aviators succeed. Based out of KDWH I own a Cessna 172 and tailor a personal training program centered around you! Whether you are pre-solo or working towards a Commercial certificate I can help you achieve your goals.

About the instructor
I’ve been passionate about aviation since a young age, earning my first pilot’s license at just 17 years old. That early start gave me a deep appreciation for the challenges and rewards of flight training. Over the years, I’ve flown a variety of aircraft—from Cessnas and Pipers to more advanced platforms like Cirrus models—and have built a solid foundation in both practical and instructional aviation. My journey as a flight student was shaped by a mix of positive and negative experiences, which ultimately inspired me to become a Certified Flight Instructor (CFI). I knew early on that I wanted to not only build hours toward my professional goals but also become the kind of instructor I wish I had—one who prioritizes quality, clarity, and a genuine investment in each student’s success. With a Master’s degree in Education, I bring a unique perspective to flight instruction. I understand how people learn, how to communicate complex concepts clearly, and how to adapt my teaching to meet individual needs. Whether working with brand-new students or those transitioning into more advanced aircraft, I’m committed to helping each pilot-in-training gain both competence and confidence in the cockpit. My ultimate goal is to help develop the next generation of safe, skilled, and passionate aviators.
