About Me

With over 20 years of experience in military, civilian, and academic aviation training, I bring a deep well of instructional expertise and a passion for helping others reach their full potential. My journey began as a Certified Flight Instructor, where I trained university students in various aviation programs, preparing them for Private, Instrument, and Commercial, and Instructor certifications. Since then, I've led aviation safety programs, conducted operational test and evaluation flights, and delivered both in-person and online instruction across technical and leadership domains. I hold a Ph.D. in Organizational Development, a Master of Science in Human Systems Integration from the Naval Postgraduate School, and a Master's in Aviation Human Factors from Florida Tech. These degrees reflect not only a lifelong commitment to education, but also my dedication to helping others learn efficiently and effectively. Whether I'm supporting students in aviation, organizational leadership, statistics, or exam preparation, I combine academic insight with practical application to create engaging, results-driven sessions. Beyond subject-matter tutoring, I specialize in helping learners prepare for interviewsparticularly for competitive programs, aviation careers, and leadership roles. I've coached professionals at all stages in articulating their strengths, refining their communication, and building confidence under pressure. My tutoring philosophy is centered on adaptability and encouragement. I believe in meeting learners where they are, identifying their unique goals, and tailoring my approach to foster both understanding and long-term growth. Outside of tutoring, I enjoy exploring emerging technologies, flying charity missions with Angel Flights, and studying new languages. Education has transformed my lifeand I'm honored to help others along that path.
