Patricia Louise Duaybes, “Droner Prime”

FAA Certified Drone Pilot

Patricia is MYD’s team leader in Southern Florida. Her enthusiasm and passion for flying drones and online gaming keeps her forever young. In 2017, she began flying drones recreationally after her husband gave her a drone as a gift. As an App Developer and avid on-line gamer, she was entranced by the dynamic maneuverability and speed of her first drone. This positive and uplifting experience led her on the path to acquire her FAA Part 107 Drone Certification, Night Flight Operations Certifications, and training others drone professionals in Southern Florida at Master Your Drone™️.

Patricia is a member in good standing with Women and Drones and the Association for Unmanned Vehicle Systems International (AUVSI). These trailblazing organizations have instilled the importance for drone enthusiasts (recreational and professional) to fly drones safely in order to increase drone flying globally. She looks forward to extending informational outreach to corporations, local communities, and organizations on the importance of drone laws, drone safety and hands-on drone pilot training. Her enthusiasm is contagious and her safety knowledge assists our MYD team and our students to navigate the complex and active Southern Florida airspace safely.
