My career in aviation began at the University of Florida where I studied mechanical engineering and discovered Delta Airlines' co-op program. I've always loved aviation, so I applied and was accepted into their rotational program, completing four semesters alternating between studying at school and working at Delta's maintenance facility in Atlanta, Georgia. My passion for aviation only grew stronger through this experience. After graduating in 2018, I was hired as a full-time engineer at Delta Airlines, working in various departments and gaining extensive experience across the commercial aviation sector. During the pandemic, I felt I had learned so much at Delta and wanted to try something different, which led me to consulting. I interviewed with Deloitte and have been there for the past four years, working on the Navy account, specifically Navira, which is the aviation sector of the Navy. I work with their maintenance facilities where they perform maintenance on helicopters, jets, and aircraft for the Navy, Army, and Air Force. My work focuses on helping them implement new technology to digitalize their shop floors, moving away from manual processes and paper trails to more efficient digital systems. I also lead a team through Deloitte's skill-based volunteering program called Deloitte 2 International, where we provide free consulting services to international nonprofits. I work with We Robotics and their Flying Labs franchises around the world, helping communities use drone technology, robotics, and AI for disaster response, agriculture, flood mapping, and emergency preparedness. I'm currently pursuing my master's degree in international business management, taking two classes per semester to make it manageable alongside my work.
