Londonderry, NH – Pro Star Aviation is once again proud to highlight three recent additions to our organization: Danielle Vezina, Learta Kalemi, and Matthew Vogel. Their diverse experience, technical talent, and personal commitment align closely with the company’s mission and values.

Danielle Vezina, who has been an A&P/IA Technician for the last 3 years at Pro Star, brings a remarkable breadth of hands-on aviation experience to her new position as Production Planner / Scheduler. Her enthusiasm for aviation began at the age of 14 during her first ever general aviation flight with her godfather. This newfound passion eventually led her to join Army Aviation as a helicopter repairer. Following an honorable discharge, she balanced full-time work and raising a family while completing her A.S. in Aviation Technology. Over the course of her career, Danielle has worked across the Eastern U.S. on helicopters, commercial platforms, military aircraft, corporate jets, and general aviation fleets. Away from the office, Danielle enjoys spending time with her family and friends, attending car shows, tinkering with sports cars, and traveling with her husband and their dog, Yogi.

Staff Accountant Learta Kalemi joins Pro Star with a strong academic foundation and a rapidly advancing early-career trajectory. Originally from Albania, Learta has lived in the U.S. for six years, gaining valuable experience across several manufacturing and accounting roles. She first began in Accounts Payable before advancing into her current position, where she applies her fast-learning mindset and meticulous approach to financial operations. Learta holds a bachelor’s degree in Accounting from Albania and an Associate of Science in Accounting from Manchester Community College. She was excited to join Pro Star for the opportunity to further grow her expertise within a supportive and dynamic organization. Outside of work, Learta devotes most of her time to her baby boy, who recently turned one in October—a source of constant joy that fills her life with love and fulfillment.

Airframe & Powerplant Technician Matthew Vogel adds 15 years of aviation experience to the maintenance team, beginning with a decade of service as a Naval Aircrewman on C-130s. Born in Michigan, Matthew returned home after the Navy, where he worked maintenance on a wide range of business aircraft including Citations, Learjets, Beechjets, Hawkers, King Airs, and PC-12s. His longstanding appreciation for Pilatus Aircraft, particularly the PC-12, made Pro Star a natural next step in his career. Matthew was drawn to the chance to work on both the PC-12 and the PC-24, as well as the excitement surrounding the company’s new facility in Grand Rapids. When he’s not in the hangar, Matthew spends much of his time fishing throughout the state, especially on the big waters of Lake Michigan.

Together, these three team members bring valuable perspectives, technical capability, and genuine passion for their craft, strengthening Pro Star’s operations and contributing to ongoing company growth.
