Sana Bahah
Didcot,Oxfordshire
Summary
I am a Year 13 student currently studying A-level Maths, Physics and Economics, with a strong academic foundation and ambition to pursue a career in commercial aviation. Through part-time employment, I have developed professionalism and effective communication skills with customers. I took on various leadership roles within school and community programmes, that strengthened my ability to initiate and work collaboratively with others. Early exposure to aviation through Air cadets and work experiences has confirmed my motivation to undertake pilot training. I am eager to demonstrate both my academic capability and practical skills through the Jet2FlightPath programme as i work towards a career as a commercial pilot.
