About Dena
Dena started her flight training at the age of 40 at Silverhawk Aviation in Caldwell, Idaho, and has been instructing for Hetrick Air Services since 2022. She loves instructing specifically for the "aha" moments — that moment when something clicks, when the student figures out a new skill or understands a new bit of knowledge. She says the joy and sense of accomplishment for her students makes her job not feel like work at all.
Outside of work, Dena and her husband Johnny have two daughters, one in college and one in high school. The whole family loves to travel and stays active with volleyball, hiking, biking, climbing, and skiing.
In her spare time, Dena loves to fly her new-to-her light sport airplane, read, exercise, bake, and cuddle with her cat and dog.
