About Melissa Barnes:
I'm a newly licensed FAA Part 107 drone pilot with a growing passion for aerial cinematography and emerging UAS technology. With 15 years of experience in film and television production, I bring a strong visual storytelling background and a keen eye for cinematic composition to every flight.
As I continue building my flight hours and expanding my technical expertise I'm developing skills in UAS operations, aerial data collection, and flight planning. I'm eager to collaborate on projects that combine creativity, precision, and innovation -whether in aerial cinematography, mapping, inspection, or other drone-based applications.
