What is your favorite part of flying?
"My favorite thing about aviation is that most people are in the field because of some passion they have for aviation. Everyone is always so willing and excited to talk shop, give you advice, or just tell stories because it started as a love for flying."💫
Why aviation?
"I had a lot of doubts about aviation. Growing up I always thought that flying for a career wasn`t something that "normal" people did, so I didn`t believe I could do it. After college and working for a couple years I decided to stop making excuses and take the plunge, so I made the career change and I am so glad I did."⭐️
His top advice?
"You have to eat, sleep, and breathe aviation if you`re going to succeed in this field. You`re going to be learning and getting tested for the rest of your life in this career so instead of shying away from it, embrace the challenge and enjoy every step of it."💡

What is your favorite part of instructing?
"My favorite part of being an instructor is the incredible sense of reward it brings. There’s nothing quite like witnessing a student achieve their first solo flight or pass their ratings! Every day is different, and I love how it continually challenges me to grow as a pilot."✈
Why aviation?
"I feel incredibly lucky to come from a family of pilots who share a passion for general aviation. Flying to our favorite lunch spots and attending Oshkosh are some of my favorite experiences. Choosing a career in this field allows me to share my love for aviation with others, making every day at work exciting!"✨
Her top advice?
"Never hesitate to ask questions! Aviation is a field where learning never stops, and it always keeps you humble. Seek advice from those around you; it’s the best way to grow."💡 #igniteflightacademy #cfi #avaitionlife #TeamSpotlight
