After receiving my degree in Nursing and working full time in a busy emergency room, I was drawn to try something different. An intro flight followed in 1991, and the rest is history! I have flown and taught in a large variety of single and multi engine aircraft, a particular joy was training my daughter through six ratings! Occasionally I work in the flight levels as as a rated SIC in corporate jets. As a Gold Seal professional flight instructor my experience centers on general aviation and endeavoring to make it as safe as the 121 flying world. I greatly enjoy teaching and was honored to be selected by the Seattle FSDO as Flight Instructor of the Year in 2022.

As an FAA Designated Pilot Examiner I am living my dream job of helping others achieve their aviation goals. I look forward to hearing from you!
