Studied Aviation Management at Coventry University

My passion for aviation has led me to study Aviation Management at Coventry University. Having gained experience at Queen Alia Airport in Amman, Jordan and Heathrow Airport, I went on to join British Airways within the Triage and Assurance Team, based within the Corporate Safety and Security Directorate. A key part of the role was the use of the Management System to enable the business to effectively manage safety and security risk. Furthering my knowledge of risk management principles has enabled me to progress within the Directorate, becoming the Triage and Assurance Team Leader, and have since become the Aviation Security Assurance Manager - UK & Europe.
