About
I am a high school senior at Faith Academy pursuing a career in aviation
through various pathways. Using dual enrollment classes with Coastal
Alabama Community College, I am earning an Airframe Technology
degree to prepare for my FAA-endorsed Airframe and Powerplant (A&P)
license. Additionally, I have been accepted into Flight Works Alabama’s
FlightPath9 program. This program provides specialized training for my
Aviation Manufacturing Technology certificate and prepares me to
transition into a full-time Airbus apprenticeship.

Goals and interests
- Career goal
I'm excited to continue my education with Coastal Alabama Community College as I work toward a degree in aircraft mechanics. As a dual enrollment student, I'll have over 30 college credits by the time I graduate. I'm also part of the FlightPath9 program with Flight Works Alabama and Bishop State Community College, which is training me to become an airplane assembler at Airbus.
- Graduate school interests
After obtaining my FAA Airframe & Powerplant (A&P) license and establishing my career in aerospace manufacturing at Airbus, I intend to pursue advanced degrees in Aviation Management or Aerospace Engineering to support long-term industry leadership.
- Outside the classroom
Outside the classroom, I stay active playing tennis, exploring nature, and sketching. I am deeply
committed to community service through my church and local volunteer
work, striving to foster growth both in myself and in those around me.
