My journey in aviation began as a childhood dream. Growing up in Yosemite National Park, I watched search and rescue and aspired to become a helicopter pilot. However, life led me down a different path during college. While studying at the University of East London, I spent hours watching planes arrive and depart from London City Airport. I kept the idea of pursuing a career in aviation in my back pocket.
It wasn’t until years later that I was introduced to Fly Legacy Aviation that I truly believed this dream could become a reality. Fly Legacy has provided incredible support and encouragement throughout my journey. My instructors, Max Malloy and Cheryl Benish, were amazing. Max, who is now one of my closest friends, has been my biggest motivator. Witnessing so many remarkable individuals transiting from student pilots to successful professional pilots is a testament to the collective success of Fly Legacy.
So here I am, pulling that idea of pursuing a career as a pilot out of my back pocket.
