Diana Ocasio, Senior CSRD/Student Checkride Coordinator/VA SCO
My name is Diana Ocasio and I have been with Cornerstone since June, 2013. Most of my time was spent running the front desk at the Salt Lake City office, but I am currently the Senior CSRD/Student Checkride Coordinator/VA SCO and rotate between both offices. My favorite part of working at Cornerstone is meeting new people and learning their stories. I love to watch students progress and go on to realize their dreams of flying. Outside of work, I love dancing, BTS music (K-Pop), trying new food, and spending time with my fantasic kids!

Jessica Aguilar, CSRD/Instructor
My name is Jessica. I was born and raised in Southern California and have lived in Utah for 14 years. I absolutely LOVE flying! It’s my therapy. Two years ago, I decided to practice what I preach to my children about following their dreams by following one of mine…to be a pilot. I’ve embarked on a total career change and have enjoyed every minute of it. Cornerstone Aviation has given this ole’ gal a shot and are molding me into the pilot I’ve always dreamed of. During my free time, I absolutely love spending time with my family. We enjoy being outdoors and exploring new places.

My name is Maddy Latham. I’ve lived most of my life in Syracuse UT and have always been fascinated by airplanes. When I was a Senior in High school my uncle took me up in his private airplane and I like to joke it was “love at first flight”! I knew this is what I wanted to do for the rest of my life. I am currently working at the front desk and saving up to get my Private Pilot’s License! In my spare time I love drawing, acting, and dancing around my kitchen.
