Ms. Tammi Carlson is a third grade teacher at Aspen Elementary School and will be a certified Private Pilot this summer.  Aviation has always been in my family.  My dad is Captain of the 777 for United Airlines and was my first CFI (Certified Flight Instructor).  I completed Mr. Roark’s Ground School last year and am now learning to fly the Diamond Star at our airport.  I have lived in Aspen for three years and couldn’t be happier.  I got married in September to my best friend and am very excited.  I have 2 dogs - Kiara, a bichtese and Zoey, a cattle dog mix who love to hike with me.  I ski, hike, bike, and practice yoga when I'm not flying.  Most importantly, I LOVE teaching kids about airplanes!
