Scales Of Ambition

As an aircraft mechanic with a wealth of experience in project management and labor supervision, I’ve always been driven by a desire to challenge the status quo and broaden my horizons. My journey in aviation began with a pursuit of knowledge and skill, culminating in obtaining my Airframe and Powerplant license through Guilford Technical Community College.

Driven by a thirst for continuous learning and growth, I later transitioned to academia, pursuing a degree in Philosophy with a Pre-law concentration at the University of North Carolina at Greensboro (UNCG). My time at UNCG has been marked by dedication, reflected in my consistently high GPA as I work towards graduation in 2025. All while maintaining full time employment.

My passion for intellectual exploration is complemented by a diverse set of interests outside the classroom. From the precision of woodworking to the innovation of computer technology and the immersive world of gaming, I find fulfillment in both the tangible and the digital realms.

The challenges presented by the COVID-19 pandemic served as a catalyst for personal and professional development. Embracing the shift to hybrid learning, I seized the opportunity to further my education and expand my skill set, recognizing the potential to bring my expertise to a broader audience beyond the confines of a niche role in aviation management.

With a commitment to excellence and an unyielding drive for advancement, I am eager to apply my diverse background and experiences to make significant contributions within the academic realm and beyond as I continue my journey at the University of North Carolina at Greensboro, and into Law School.
