What do you like about your job and the company?

I’m passionate about leading a team that creates exceptional experiences for passengers. The responsibility of ensuring a safe, smooth, and memorable flight drives me. I’m motivated by the opportunity to mentor and inspire my crew, helping them to grow and excel in their roles. The dynamic challenges of each day keep me engaged, and knowing that I play a crucial part in making someone’s journey enjoyable and safe is incredibly rewarding. My role allows me to make a positive impact, and that’s what fuels me to give my best every day.

Greatest achievements

My greatest achievement at British Airways has been the successful progression of my career, moving from Cabin Crew to Inflight Lead and cabin crew line trainer. This journey has been marked by a commitment to excellence, continuous learning, and a passion for leadership. I’ve had the privilege of guiding and mentoring new crew members, shaping them into confident professionals who uphold the high standards of service that British Airways is known for. Leading by example, I’ve contributed to creating exceptional passenger experiences and fostering a culture of teamwork and growth within the airline.

I always say to my students at school ‘never be afraid to fail’. It’s only through failure that we learn how to succeed. Not everyone who applies to BA is successful the first time around. That’s OK. Just don’t give up and make sure you learn what you need to do differently next time. BA Cabin Crew come from all walks of life and all ages. If it’s something you’re really interested in then go for it, even if you think it’s way out your comfort zone or unlike anything you’ve done previously. Remember: to most people, the sky is the limit. To those who love aviation, the sky is home.

This is especially for those that are still at school; I am often asked what subjects are best to take, to best set themselves up to become a Pilot. This is twofold, firstly, the subjects you love, will probably be the ones that keep you most engaged and likely to yield the best results. Secondly, the stereotypical idea of a Pilot being great at Maths and Physics is false - there are those of us that didn't go to University, that have had one, or even multiple careers previously. This is a job most consider for life, it is far more important to do something you enjoy than chase a dream you think you need to.

My career at British Airways has been varied. It would be my 10th year in the company, including my 6 month hiatus. In BA it is very normal to stay in the company for decades. I never understood it until I left. I was desperate to try something new, and I thought that meant leaving the company. The great thing about working for a large organisation, is that there are various roles within the company. I never thought I would end up in Engineering, but it has been the best decision. Network, get to know other departments, because there really is something available for everyone in this company. Look at the careers page for inspiration and read the job description and advert, as some titles can be misleading! I was not afraid to leave BA for another reputable company, and I was not afraid to come back after 6 months. Try something new until you get what you are looking for.
