I am the co-owner of CP Aviation, a flight school located in Santa Paula California. I am a CFII and specialize in Tailwheel and Emergency Maneuver Training.

After flying my first airshow!  What a thrill that was. CMA Airshow 2011

My career in aviation began while working at the local airport restaurant where I met my husband Clay Phelps who owned the flight school next door. This was the beginning of an amazing journey and a life changing experience.

I made it home!  After my first Aerobatic Contest in 2005.

In 1999 I earned my Private Pilot Certificate and in 2003 I became a Flight Instructor.

I own a variety of taildraggers starting with my favorite a Pitts S2B. In August of 2011 I flew my first airshow, something I thought I would never do. I also fly Decathlon’s, Citabria’s and a Cessna 180.
