Flying has always been something very special to me. I really love what I do.... sharing my passion of flying and seeing my students go on to become successful pilots is a feeling that is indescribable. I want your training to be the very best! 

Having always longed to become a pilot, I started flying at the age of 14 and obtained my private pilot certificate at the age of 17. At 19 I became commercially certified and shortly thereafter I obtained my certified flight instructor certificate.

My goal is to help you become a very safe and proficient pilot all while having a lot of fun in an unparalleled training environment. Whether you train with myself or another one of our dedicated instructors, I can unconditionally guarantee that you will love flying with us!

Ever since I was four years old I wanted to be a pilot. That dream came true in the summer 2011 when I signed up for one of CAA's camps.

I started flying when I was 11 years old. On my 16th birthday I had the opportunity to solo for the first time. A short year later I received my private pilot certificate on my 17th birthday and then commercial pilot certificate on my 18th. I've learned so much over the years, and as they say, a great pilot is always learning. Through CAA, I share my passion with other students and guide them down the path to achieving their personal goals/becoming a pilot. 

It's really shown me that anything you set your mind to is possible and to go run after your dreams. I've learned especially not to let anyone limit you by age. Flying is the most challenging yet most rewarding thing anyone can ever do... And I enjoy every minute of it! There is no question in my mind that I would do anything else but fly.

Flying has been a lifelong passion for me. I was fortunate to get started with my aviation career at a very young age thanks to CAA’s middle/high school program... After continuing on with CAA's training program for four years, I flew solo on my sixteenth birthday, obtained my Private Pilot Certificate and Instrument Rating shortly after my seventeenth birthday, and Commercial Pilot Certificate, CFI and CFII when I was eighteen years old.

After having helped out in the CAA office for several years, I’m now enjoying my current role as a CAA Instructor! As a graduate of CAA’s own Pilot Academy program, it has been personally gratifying to be involved with the very program which first inspired my aviation passion, and has offered me a unique perspective on this industry. Since I love sharing my aviation passion with others, it has also been wonderful and very rewarding to see many our students make it across the finish line in achieving their own aviation goals! Please don’t hesitate to reach out to me or our team if we can be of any assistance in helping you down your aviation path.

​Airplanes and airports have always drawn my eye. There is something about the power of a jumbo jet or the symphony of a busy airport that is amazing. It took doing a discovery flight for me to realize that I can be a part of this industry, and I have not looked back since.

At the beginning of summer 2017, I started my flight training. I studied every night and spent as much time at the school as possible and passed my private pilot certificate before the end of that summer. It would not have been possible without the amazing instruction I received from Centennial Aviation Academy. I continued my training here at CAA, and eventually started to teach students myself with the school.
​
The dedication my instructors demonstrated when doing their job inspired me to become a CFI. Now, my goal is to help foster a love for aviation with the students, just like all the instructors did for me here at CAA.

I’ve always had a fascination with flying, but it wasn’t until I took the opportunity to learn to fly that I found my passion. Flying checks all the boxes for me. It is challenging and rewarding, a whole lot of fun, and definitely appeals to my adventurous spirit! That experience is what led me to become a flight instructor myself. Working and flying with students every day is something I always look forward to. No two days are ever alike! I appreciate the opportunity to share the awesome and exhilarating experience of flight with you, and I look forward to cheering you on, from your first ground lesson through the day you become a pilot!

​Growing up in a Delta family, I was around airplanes my entire childhood and I developed a passion for aviation early on. My family would take trips around the country frequently, and my favorite part was always the flight. Riding in the back of the plane was fun, but finally getting behind the controls solidified that this is what I want to do for the rest of my life. 

I began my training at Centennial Aviation Academy in 2017 and worked my way through my ratings until I became a CFI. The journey was challenging but very rewarding, and I’m so grateful for the community of people I’ve met along the way. I love sharing my passion for flying with my students and look forward to coming to work every day. Whether your goal is getting your private pilot’s license or you want to make it to the airlines, mine is always to help my students achieve their dreams and find their place in aviation.
