Biography
With a passion for both the skies and human behavior, my journey has been a fusion of diverse disciplines. Initially navigating the world of medicine and attending medical school, I eventually charted a new course, embracing the thrill of aviation. Becoming a pilot and flight instructor laid the foundation, but a desire for a deeper connection between aviation and human behavior led me to earn my Master of Science in Human Factors degree. As I began this journey in the Human Factors world, I was able to start work at The Boeing Company as a Human Factors engineer in the Future Flight Deck group. This opportunity enriched my aviation knowledge starting with the development of a product and up until seeing that product being used by a pilot. A journey that has been most rewarding as both a pilot and a Human Factors scientist.
