    Flight Experience\/Training:<\/strong> I began flying in 2020 and I\u2019ve logged over 2,000 total flight hours including 1,600+ hours of instruction given. My experience spans both part 61 and 141 training environments in New York. I have experience in advanced level D simulators and have flown a wide range of aircraft from G1000 equipped trainers to turbine jets and bring a strong foundation in CRM system training scenario based instruction.<\/p>\n

    What is rewarding to you about being a CFI?<\/strong>For me the most rewarding part of being a CFI is seeing the enjoyment on a student\u2019s face when they finally master a skill they’ve been struggling with – those breakthrough moments that make teaching aviation so fulfilling.<\/p>\n

    I enjoy being a servant leader in the aviation community. To be able to watch my student smile behind the controls makes me remember my time as a student when I first started this journey. I enjoy teaching my students how to be effective leaders in and out of the cockpit in hopes that they will one day share my teachings to other students.<\/p>\n
