A lifelong ambition. A journey in motion.

Aviation combines my curiosity about how things work with my ambition to contribute to an industry that connects people and places. As a student pilot and Aviation Operations student, I am developing my knowledge through study, training and practical experience. The journey continues to teach me about preparation, disciplined decisions and responsibility.

I am studying Aviation Operations at Seneca and undertaking Private Pilot Licence training at Genesis Flight Academy in Canada. My interest spans the practical experience of flight, the systems behind aviation and the decisions that support safe operations.
