Ellen Quist earned a bachelor’s degree in biochemistry before making an early-life career pivot to pursue her long-burning interest in aviation. She worked at the local FBO as she built up her ratings.  This gave her a broad exposure to many aspects of the general aviation world.  

Ellen now works as a freelance CFI/CFII and commercial pilot, instructing and flying with my business, Flyhalf Aero.

She has always had a passion for learning, which has benefitted her greatly as she's progressed into a teaching role.
