About Me

I fell in love with aviation at age five, when a visit to the cockpit of a 747 on a flight to the Philippines sparked a fascination that never faded. That passion led me to earn a Bachelor's degree in Aerospace Engineering from UCLA before ultimately finding my way to the flight deck myself.

I took my first flight lesson in September 2018 and have been building on that foundation ever since. My flight experience spans a range of general aviation aircraft, including the Cessna 172 and 182, the Piper Archer II, and the Diamond DA40. I'm based out of Van Nuys Airport (KVNY), where I offer personalized instruction in Cessna 172s and Piper Archer IIs through a partnership with an onsite flight school.

I specialize in Private Pilot and Commercial training, with Instrument and Multi-Engine instruction coming soon. Whether you're pursuing a career in aviation or looking to fly for the love of it, my goal is to provide the kind of focused, individualized instruction that helps every student succeed.
