Personal Interests
I’m a Commercial Multi-Engine Land pilot with an Instrument rating and CFII, currently building time and experience toward a long-term career in professional flight operations. As a Certified Flight Instructor in the San Francisco Bay Area, I provide both flight and ground instruction for Private and Instrument students, with a strong focus on safety, situational awareness, and real-world decision making in complex airspace. I’ve trained and mentored students from zero time through checkride readiness while maintaining high standards of professionalism and FAA compliance. In addition to flight instruction, I’ve taught Private Pilot Ground School through UC Berkeley’s DeCal program, where I developed and delivered structured coursework covering core aviation topics including weather, navigation, and regulations. This experience strengthened my ability to communicate clearly, lead in a structured environment, and hold students to high performance standards. My background also includes experience in photography and videography within aviation, giving me a unique perspective on operations, attention to detail, and presentation. I’m now looking to transition into a Part 91/135 environment where I can continue developing as a pilot, contribute to a professional flight department, and operate with a strong safety-first mindset.
