Cristina has been a valuable member of the SCFC Team for over two years and is familiar to anyone who has been in the office.

SCFC: What made you first want to get involved with San Carlos Flight Center? What appealed to you? 

CR: One of my college roommates, Nick Patel, was helping with accounting and had mentioned how much he enjoyed working at the Flight Center. The energy, the opportunity to be a part of a community, and the chance to learn about a new industry drew me in. He got me an interview and the rest is history.

SCFC: Do you have any interest in learning to fly?

CR: Absolutely. Every day at the Flight Center, it seems there's something new that inspires me to want to begin training. I've also realized that it's a huge commitment. I hope to make the time to accomplish getting my license at some point in the future.

SCFC: What is your favorite thing about being a part of the SCFC community?

CR: Definitely the people. Whether or not you're a pilot, the community is so welcoming. I love that. We always have something going on and there are always great new people to meet.

SCFC: What do you do for fun when you're not at the Flight Center?

CR: I enjoy cooking and baking, working on crafty DIY projects, hiking in the Belmont Hills and around the Redwood Shores salt flats, reading, and spending time with my family.

SCFC: Do you have any other passions?

CR: I'd say my ultimate passions are travel and food, as they always seem to fit together nicely. One day, I hope to combine the two and run my own food truck.
