Consultant
Looking for a change of pace after working as a marketing project manager, Carina began her career with NGAV as the face of the office in 2021, answering calls and checking flights in and out. In 2022, she became Office Manager and then served as General Manager of North Georgia Aviation until late 2024. Today, Carina functions in a consultant capacity while focusing on her budding family. NGAV also functions as a family, one that is invested in the long-term aviation goals and successes of its clients, students, and staff. A highlight of Carina’s time with NGAV was organizing the 2023 Halloween Fly-in event, which saw a record 4,000 attendees and featured 35 aircraft! Carina is married to Wade Allen, NGAV’s assistant chief flight instructor, who she met while at Young Harris College. She is a competitive softball player and won a national championship with YHC her junior year. She credits God and her family for her accomplishments and is thankful for the opportunity to do what she loves every day.
