Personal Passions

Female Student Pilot, Breaking Barriers in the Sky

Becoming a pilot has been a lifelong dream. Both of my parent’s hold Private Pilot licenses and other various ratings and certifications. What truly sparked my passion was working with my dad to create a simulation cockpit for a STEM fair in elementary school. We used a plotter and printed out a big-as-life image of a single engine cockpit, pasted on a large plywood piece. Together we whittled together two moveable yokes and usable rudder pedals, and put together the ultimate home-made simulator. It was a hit amongst my peers and inspired me to begin my flying journey.

I started as a student pilot at KVUO: Pearson Field the summer prior to starting my career as a Gonzaga University student. Currently I am at the tail end of my student pilot studies at K1W1: Grove Field, focusing on studying for my VFR licensing. My flight instructor, Jiah, is an amazing instructor and a wonderful mentor as a woman in aviation. It’s inspiring to see the amazing women at my flight school come together and the camaraderie we share. We have even formed a study group that supports all women in their aviation endeavors, from student to testing to becoming a CFI(flight instructor).

Diving the Depths, Exploring Beyond Land

I have been a swimmer since I was 2 weeks old bobbing around the pool with my grandfather. Always willing to jump in at any time to go swimming. Growing up and learning more about various aquatic life, I was provided the opportunity to SNUBA (a combination of SCUBA and snorkeling) within the Caribbean, US Virgin Islands, St. Vincent & the Grenadines, and British Virgin Islands and explore the depths even though I was too young to be a certified SCUBA diver. After being able to explore numerous countries snorkeling and SNUBA-ing, I earned my Open Water Diver certification from NAUI in 2021. Being able to witness the other two-thirds of our Earth and see a whole new world underwater is fascinating. I am also an avid paddleboarder with an iSUP and kayaker, truly any way you can be a part of water I enjoy.
