What sets me apart? I have been helping pilots succeed since I started in this industry 7 years ago. As a First Officer with United Airlines flying the Airbus A320, I embody my personal mantra: “Say yes to opportunities and share them with others.” My journey in aviation began with an inspiring encounter with pilot Lynsey Howell and further developed while working as a ramp agent for SkyWest Airlines in Vail, Colorado. These experiences ignited my passion for flying, leading me to complete my training at ATP Flight School and gain valuable experience as a flight instructor at AeroGuard Flight Training Center in Phoenix.
Before joining United, I flew the Embraer 175 as a Captain for SkyWest, where I earned my designation as a Designated Mountainous Area pilot. A memorable highlight was landing in Vail, the same place where my aviation journey started. Throughout my career, I’ve dedicated myself to professional development and supporting fellow pilots. I’ve served on several committees, including the Critical Incident Response Program, and acted as a pilot recruiter, honing my skills in career development at events like Women in Aviation International.
Outside of flying, I embrace mountain adventures—especially those that include my dog! I believe that it’s never too early or too late to pursue your dreams and encourage others to chase their aspirations.
