Outside the classroom

I received my Private Pilot License before coming into Auburn currently with 103 flight hours and still increasing, I've done numerous amounts of solo flights (including Huntsville International Airport), have performed emergency procedures, practice communication and changing frequencies. I worked at Jon Smith Subs as a shift leader in which I trained new employees, obtained a food handlers permit, food prep, prepared sandwiches (hot and cold), processed customer orders, and performed many cleaning and closing duties. I played lacrosse in high schools as a Defensive Pole (D-Pole), participated in daily practices and weekly games, played in summer tournaments, and coached new players. I also play music (Piano) in which I am a distinguished piano player with twelve years of experience doing weekly piano lessons, and participated in yearly recitals and school events.
