Greetings, everyone! I am the Dronist - Sam Scully a Certified Drone Pilot and Consultant specializing in drone training, operations, and workforce development. Here’s a quick update on what I’ve been up to as we head into 2025!” Key Highlights 1. Career Journey: I became FAA Part 107 Certified in June 2021, but my drone journey started back in 2019 when I flew my first drone in the Santa Monica Mountains. I joined Women in Drones in 2020 after attending a conference in Las Vegas, and since then, it’s been an incredible ride! 2. Experience & Accomplishments: I have over 50 flight hours and 500+ flights, using DJI and Autel drones across various projects. I’ve worked on construction sites documenting progress, coached youth in drone soccer, and trained over 1,000 elementary students in drone technology. 3. Industry Contributions: Proud to be a member of organizations like Women in Drones, Drone Soccer USA, Global Air Academy, and the American Legion. I’ve also interviewed CEOs for workforce pop-ups with Women in Drones, hosted podcasts like DroneLaw Connection, and spoken at major conferences like the Commercial UAV Expo. 4. Recent Projects: Some of my favorite projects include capturing aerial footage of the downtown graffiti buildings for construction and coaching drone soccer teams who competed at the World Games. 5. Vision for 2025: Looking ahead, I’m focused on expanding my drone training programs for youth and veterans, supporting more construction and engineering projects, and advocating for inclusion in tech and drone industries. If you’re looking for drone expertise or want to collaborate on a project, let’s connect! I’m always excited to discuss how drones can transform industries and create opportunities.
