Welling

Summary

From my passion for future technologies and human factors in aviation and my support of others through my current undergraduate degree in aviation engineering and outreach work, I have gained experience in being an outgoing and adaptable leader with an excellent work ethic. My active listening, critical thinking, and presenting skills from my volunteering experience make me an ideal candidate for the ISTAT Foundation Scholarship and Human Factors role to be gained from attending Cranfield University to support the global aviation community.

Hobbies

I am a keen sailor, photographer, and artist. Previously,, I raised funds for Cancer Research UK by participating in the 5K Race For Life for several years. I also volunteered as a shop worker at EllenorLions Hospice Charity shop. Helping improve the lives of others is important to me, particularly due to the bereavement I have experienced.

During high school, I was honored to receive the Jack Petchey Award for my exceptional work ethic, commitment to my studies, and support for my peers. I also have a strong interest in aviation, especially in commercial aviation and human factors. I have attended multiple conferences, with the most recent being the Royal Aeronautical Society's Flight Operations Conference 2025, titled "Single Pilot Operations - Logical Progression or a Step Too Far?".
