Today we celebrate more than a milestone, we celebrate years of dedication, growth, and perseverance. Nicole Gonzalez officially earned her Certified Flight Instructor Certificate, and to say we’re proud is an understatement. From the moment she walked through our doors for her first discovery flight, we’ve watched Nicole evolve into the driven, talented aviator and leader she is today. She has earned every certificate and rating along the way, while also graduating last year from UNR with a degree in finance and becoming an integral part of the GBA team. She balanced school, flying, and running the office on weekends with grace, professionalism, and heart. Nicole has grown up with us here at GBA, and watching her now take on the role of instructor is incredibly special. Her journey is a reminder of what’s possible when passion meets hard work, and we can’t wait to see the impact she’ll make on the next generation of pilots. Congratulations, Nicole!! And congratulations as well to her instructor, Eric Harned, for guiding her through this final leg. The runway ahead is wide open, CFI Nicole. This is just the beginning!
