Shannon Torres, a former CACREP-Accredited Counselor, embarked on a unique career journey by transitioning to aviation in 2019. During her tenure with a 121 carrier, she became acutely aware of the unseen struggles and stressors faced by pilots. Motivated by a desire to bridge the gap between personal wellness and professional excellence, she founded Aviation Conversations in 2023. This coaching business is tailored specifically for pilots who seek to harmonize personal well-being, stress management, and career success from a space that is safe and considered medically non-reportable. Additionally, Shannon is deeply invested in advocacy efforts within the aviation community. As a volunteer for the Pilot Mental Health Campaign (PMHC), she contributes to a non-partisan, grassroots movement dedicated to fostering a culture of health and well-being within aviation. Through her involvement with PMHC, she actively promotes FAA aeromedical reform, advocating for the holistic well-being of pilots. Shannon Torres embodies a commitment to a healthier and more resilient aviation industry. For further information or inquiries, please reach Shannon at [email protected].
