Summary
I have a huge passion for aviation, and have immersed myself in a variety of areas within the aviation industry. I am currently working as a cabin crew member on the ATR72-600 for Air New Zealand. Previously I worked as an aircraft engineer, starting from an apprenticeship I got after high school at Northland Aviation, then moving to Blenheim where I completed a certificate in Aeronautical Engineering, and finally finishing up with an apprenticeship at Hamilton Aero Maintenance. Outside of aviation, I have a huge passion for highland dancing, which I have been doing for almost 16 years. I have been fortunate enough to have traveled all over the world for competitions and performances. I have always had an interest in flying planes with the possibility of one day becoming a commercial airline pilot, and hope that with my range of experience in the industry it will help make that dream a reality.
