Heather: CFI
My journey to aviation is long and varied. My interest began in Wildland Fire with the Forest Service working in the Wilderness of Montana and on a helitack crew. When I was bored of being a ski bum in the winter between fire seasons, I decided to get a seasonal job fueling and aircraft support in Antarctica. In the winter of 2020, I took a Private Ground course just to fill my time, which came with a discounted discovery flight, and… here I am now! I wouldn’t have thought in the beginning I’d be on this journey but I don’t regret my path to Safety in Motion because it has given me a greater depth of understanding aviation. Outside of aviation, I enjoy spending time with my fiancé and our dog, Sir Ernest Shackleton, either hiking or fly fishing.
