What I'm looking for

I’m looking for an aviation role where safety and SOP discipline are non-negotiable, and where I can apply strong CRM/TEM habits, operational support, and teamwork to deliver consistent flight performance.

I’m an Airbus A320 type-rated pilot with 206 total flight hours and a strong safety mindset grounded in SOP compliance, CRM and TEM awareness. Alongside aviation training, I bring over 13 years of combined experience in food and beverage operations and construction contracting, adapting quickly to new environments and responsibilities.

As a foodservice business owner and managing partner, I oversaw daily operations, marketing, and financial management while leading teams through recruitment, development, and performance monitoring. I also worked as a measuring surveyor—taking precise site measurements, preparing accurate drawings, and delivering detailed reports—collaborating closely with project managers, engineers, and contractors to support successful project delivery.
