Hi! I’m Jimena!

If you’re reading this, you’re probably thinking about learning to fly and I’d love to help you get there! Whether you’re just starting out or already a pilot looking to level up, I’m here to guide you on your journey. I specialize in Cirrus airplanes as a Cirrus Standardized Instructor Pilot (CSIP) and proudly I own a Cirrus which is part of the advantage fleet!
If you have any questions, please don’t hesitate to stop me here at the airport and
introduce yourself. I love meeting new pilots!

A little about me:
Outside of the classroom, I love learning about new cultures and traveling with my
husband and our pup, Friday. Before moving to California in 2014, I spent 12 years as an officer in the Colombian Air Force.                                                                                                                                                         I also have a degree in Aeronautical Business Administration and a Master’s in Human Resources, It was during my career in the military where I learned about working with people on an individual basis, a philosophy that still serves me today as an instructor. Working with my students, I strive to understand their individual needs and expectations to build a lesson program that connects their current progress to their future goals.

Why did I decide to become an instructor? As a child, I dreamed of becoming a pilot. After finally achieving that goal and getting my commercial license, I realized that I was in a great position to help others with a dream like my own. If flying the open skies is a dream of yours too, let’s work together to make it a reality!

If you are already a pilot and looking to advance your career, I can help you take the next step. Whether you are pursuing your instrument rating, Commercial, CFI or want to get checked out in different types of aircraft, I am here to guide you every step on the
way.
For non-U.S. citizens, I’ve been through the certification process myself and I can offer full support. And if you speak Spanish, ¡estoy aquí para ayudarte también!

Learning aviation is an adventure that can last the rest of your lifetime. Our classroom is the sky, and we have the freedom to travel wherever we desire!
