My love for aviation began when my family moved near a small airport in NC. I would look up at the sound of every airplane flying overhead and I remember wanting to see what the pilot was seeing. I got that opportunity when I took a discovery flight, and from that moment on I knew I had to become a pilot.

I moved to Asheville, NC to pursue a degree in Aviation Business Management while earning my flight certificates and ratings. Now living in the wonderful upstate of SC, I’m an instrument rated commercial pilot and flight instructor in single-engine airplanes.

I’m excited to share my love for aviation and introduce others to the joys of flying!

When I’m not flying, I enjoy fly fishing, mountain biking, camping, kayaking, and playing disc golf with my husband, Corbin and Australian Shepherd, Ross.
