Meet our team

I grew up in Northern Virginia and moved down to Fredericksburg in high school. I've always been passionate about aviation. When I was nine years old, I took a flight to California to see some family. It was the first time I remember being on an airplane. Everything about it captivated me, and I knew from then on I wanted to fly.

When I was 14 I joined the Civil Air Patrol as a cadet to learn more about aviation. I graduated Stafford High School in 2021 and started flight training a few months after. I did flight training at ATP and at RVA Flyers in Richmond. After working in Richmond for a while, I came to Shannon in August of 2023. I am currently working towards my ATP. My hobbies include playing accordion and mountain biking. My favorite plane is the Pilatus PC-12.

Shannon has since become like a second home to me. I am committed to providing professional instruction and hope to share the beauties and joys of aviation with my students.

I am from Stafford, Virginia and have loved aviation my entire life! My grandfather flew for Pan American Airlines and I always wanted to join him. I graduated from the University of Mary Washington in 2020 with a degree in mathematics and a degree in psychology. From there I moved out West to California and worked in accounting, only to find that the 9-5 life was not for me! I completed my flight training in Napa, California, and Redmond, Oregon and have moved back home to be closer to family. My hobbies include historical reenactment, playing the piano, hiking, and dancing. 

I truly enjoy teaching and respect anyone who has the guts to follow what they really want to do. My desire is to connect with each of my students and teach them safety and efficiency, while showing them the utter joy of taking flight. My favorite part of flying is the moment of takeoff, and my favorite airplane is a Cessna Caravan. Blue skies and tailwinds!
