Summary

A calm professional, with exemplary communication and leadership skills, learned from 14 years of a wide-range of military aviation experience. From supervising aircraft maintenance, servicing and operations, combined with extensive leadership training and experiences and handling of emergencies at sea and in the air, I am a very predictable and dependable team member and leader. I am very keen and would be proud to embark on the next chapter in my aviation career, swapping the white ensign for the union flag in our national airline.
