What I'm looking for

I seek a stable, growth-oriented role that leverages my aviation engineering and technical leadership while allowing cross-functional contributions in operations, logistics, or HR.

I am an engineer-pilot and former engineer-navigator with over 14 years of experience in both public and private sectors across aviation, technical maintenance, and operations. I have held roles from navigator and engineer-pilot to chief technical engineer and production operator, and I bring strong organization, diplomacy, and computer proficiency to every position.

I have supplemented my aviation background with cross-functional experience in HR, marketing, translation, UX/UI design, logistics, and customer-facing roles, and I hold multiple professional certificates including TEFL/TESOL and Google certifications in internet marketing and analytics. I am motivated to find a stable, growth-oriented position where I can apply technical expertise, operational leadership, and continuous learning.
