It's always been my passion to fly, and now I'm one of the lucky folks with the work-hobby of flying with a purpose. While off the runway, I'm always working on a dozen projects around the house, from upgrading my computer, touching up my car, and soldering life into my dead electronics. -

I get to look after the loading/unloading of our patients and the behind the scenes logistics. Knowing that each mission we go on has a significant impact on someone's health journey is what drives me. I've just started learning how to fly so maybe one day I'll be in the pilots seat! -
