My passion for aviation started at a young age. I used to love to watch World War II movies and any movies that had pilots and planes in them. However, I didn't really know how to get involved other than the military and I knew pilot spots were very competitive. I had told my mom that I definitely had an interest in planes and aviation. My mom then gifted me a discovery flight for Christmas at a airport nearby. After that flight, I was hooked! I discovered the airport where I received my discovery flight had a small flight school and I began learning how to fly there in my senior year of high school.
Fast forward to now, I am currently a junior at EMU and planning to graduate in 2018. I am an aviation flight major and am currently working on my commercial license. A good way I found to get involved in the outside aviation world is joining Alpha Eta Rho, which is a professional aviation fraternity that is on Eastern Michigan's campus. I am currently the recruiting officer for the fraternity and find my job very rewarding. I love to see new members get involved and grow in their aviation experience.
After graduation, I plan on flight instructing to get hours and building experience and flight hours. I am open to any aviation jobs right now, but I am leaning toward starting at a regional carrier when I have the appropriate flight hours. I would then eventually like to fly for a major airline such as Delta Air Lines, American, or Southwest. I would love to fly international flights if I became a captain at one of those airlines. I would then retire when I turned sixty five or when I felt in a comfortable position to do so. I know many things are subject to change in my life but these are my current goals in my aviation career and Im doing the best I can to make these goals a reality in my future life.
