My grandfather is 7,000 years old. Yes, you read that correctly, 7,000. I'm originally from Egypt, where history isn't something you read about; it's part of everyday life. I came to the United States in 2019 as an international student to study Linguistics. Like many immigrants, I worked a variety of jobs while building a new life and waiting for the right opportunity to pursue my lifelong dream of becoming a pilot. When that opportunity finally came, I committed myself fully to aviation and quickly caught the flying bug. I haven't looked back since. Today, I have the privilege of flying internationally as a corporate pilot, a career that combines my passion for travel, continuous learning, and connecting with people from different cultures. I am incredibly grateful for every challenge, every lesson, and every person who has been part of my journey. Each experience has shaped not only the pilot I am today, but also the person I continue to become. The journey has not always been easy, but I wouldn't change it for anything. Every step along the way has reinforced the value of perseverance, hard work, and staying true to the dreams that inspire us. When I'm not flying, I enjoy spending time with family and friends and being involved in my church community. My faith has been an important source of strength and guidance throughout my journey, and I try to dedicate as much of my free time as possible to serving and growing within my church.
