As Chief Motivational Officer at SBACC, I bring over 25 years of business aviation experience to my role. This experience stems from working in my family’s former FBO, Showalter Flying Service (KORL), leading regional business aviation associations in Florida, and most recently recruiting business aviation talent for corporate flight departments.

Pairing my work experience with my roles as the wife, daughter, and sister of business aviation pilots, I feel I am uniquely qualified to help you navigate your business aviation career.

With a reputation that reflects my passion for people and the business aviation industry, my ability to maintain confidentiality is second to none. Whether you need a new resume, LinkedIn review, interview practice or an educated listening ear, I look forward to helping!

I proudly serve as a founding member and Board Secretary for the Central Florida Business Aviation Association - CFBAA, and am a proponent of industry involvement.

An avid Miami Dolphins fan with high hopes and expectations. A Fitness Enthusiast with intense will. And an Aviation Intellect with unrivaled passion.

I am a self-driven Business Aviation professional with advanced skills in Data Analysis, Financial Analysis, Project Management, and Critical Situational Thinking Skills. I am currently assisting Corporate Flight Departments in keeping their organizations in congruence with IRS, SEC, and FAA Regulations.

Early on in the Business Aviation journey I became passionate about helping others propel their careers. After graduation I got to see first-hand how many of my classmates struggled to find work and were forced to work jobs that they were overqualified for. From that point on, I professed my allegiance to helping Young Professionals in the Business Aviation community become more qualified, marketable, and competent at the jobs that they occupy and aspire to.
