Our Instructors
Addison Stoltzfus
Hi! I am the owner of Aspiring Aviators and also one of our instructors! I got into aviation when I was about 7 and took my first airline flight to Chicago. I knew from then, I wanted to be a pilot and I took my first discovery flight out of St.Pete Florida. I was a high level athlete for many years of my life and didn’t think much about a career for myself. I got into touch with a delta pilot who helped me to realize that being a pilot was still an option and I decided to pursue it! I started flight school in August of 2023 and received my private pilot license, instrument rating, commercial pilot license, and just recently passed my CFI on July, 3rd 2025. Next up- Multi, Tailwheel, CFII, Seaplane!!
Amelia Marsicek
Hi Everyone! My name is Amelia Marsicek. Ever since I can remember, I have always wanted to fly, and the ability to make that dream a reality every day is amazing! Originally from Denver, Colorado, I recently moved to Chicago, Illinois. I am excited for the opportunity to inspire the next generation of aviators like me and help them grow in knowledge and confidence! At 13 years old, I began my flight training journey, and as the first pilot in my family, navigating the flight training scene got hectic at times. Through my experiences, I’ve learned there are no shortcuts to learning to fly, and there are many ways to connect the technical learning with its application. I am grateful for the opportunity to offer ground lessons to students to help make their transition from the ground to the skies easier. Please reach out with any questions. I can't wait to work with you!
Emmi Berg
I am a Commercial pilot and CFI out of Southern California! I have been flying for just under 2 years from the Santa Paula (KSZP) Airport, and especially love tailwheel flying. I enjoy local air shows and volunteering with aviation organizations like the 99s and EAA Young Eagles. I hope to continue instructing and work in the aviation charter industry in the future. Some of my favorite things are sunset flights, beach walks, and spending time with my family!
