My lifelong exposure to aerospace has given me a very strong passion for aircraft and the engineering processes behind their production and operation. My ambition is to further my knowledge in this fascinating discipline and create a career from my skill.
Partially responsible for my captivation is the strong connections to this industry in my family. My Uncle is an engineer in Boeing’s space division and his line of work was what originally drove my curiosity as a child. Living in a part of England peppered with air traffic, I would often peer to the skies in awe of jets ferrying passengers to faraway destinations.
My fascination with aircraft over years had turned into a desire to understand the “magic” behind flight. At age 14 I undertook flying lessons at Cambridge Airport to pursue an EASA Private Pilot’s License. Three years later, I had attained my licence with 50 flying hours, joining the ranks of only 30,000 holders in the UK and becoming one of the UK’s youngest to ever do so.

All of my training aircraft were serviced at Marshall Aerospace’s on-site light aircraft maintenance facilities and it was here that I began to experience for myself the technicalities behind aero manufacture and engineering. I would frequently watch documentaries like “Air Crash Investigation” and realised that they were a haunting testament to the level of precision required for success in the aerospace industry, and the devastating consequences that occur if this precision is not adhered
