Growing up I always loved going to the airport and watching aircraft but I never really knew what opportunities existed in the aviation industry. When I was 12, I joined the Air Cadet Program, I learned all about aviation and was given many opportunities to explore different aspects of aviation. I grew up in Newfoundland and completed the Aircraft Maintenance Engineering Technician Program at the College of the North Atlantic. I currently work as an Avionics Non-Certifying Engineer at Jazz Aviation. I recently received my AME-E licence and am working towards my AME-M2 licence. As well as being an AME, I am also a CIC Officer in the Canadian Armed Forces, working with the cadet program. I have seen first hand how women are not always treated fairly in the aviation industry and I hope to be able to challenge others to make the industry welcoming and accessible for everyone. I currently live in Nova Scotia with my cat, Bailey. When I am not working or helping with the local cadet unit, I enjoy traveling, spending time outdoors (camping, hiking, and much more), baking and decorating cakes.
