I proudly served as a Chief Warrant Officer in the U.S. Army, where I specialized in piloting both UH-1 and Black Hawk helicopters. During my 6 years on Active Duty, I was entrusted with high-stakes missions that required precision, quick decision-making, and leadership in dynamic and often challenging conditions. Following my active service, I continued my aviation career for 7 more years in the Reserve, further honing my expertise in aviation operations and strengthening my leadership skills. This extensive experience allowed me to manage complex flight operations, coordinate with diverse teams, and ensure mission success under pressure, while upholding the highest standards of safety and efficiency.
