Always keep an open-mind when making decisions, some of my best career moments have happened after I said yes to something that I wanted to say no to, being outside of your comfort zone is when you will learn the most! Create goals to ensure you have things to aspire and work towards, this will keep you on the right path and motivated.

Career path
Communications

From 10/2023 to 12/2024Company
What do you like about your job and the company?
In my role there is lots of opportunities to promote the British Airways brand and being part of the team that enables this is highly rewarding. Seeing the impact that your work can make motivates me to continue to seek new opportunities and remain curious in my outlook as you never know what a small idea may lead to! I really enjoy when I get to work with various teams across the business to shape ideas and form plans - seeing the outcomes instils a lot of pride across teams.
Greatest achievements
In the first instance, securing the role at British Airways was a huge achievement, as a globally recognised brand with a rich history - this is something to be really proud of. Since joining I have been lucky enough to work on some exciting and meaningful projects, from celebrating 100 years of flying to India, shaping our corporate narrative, to organising multiple events to promote the brand and engage colleagues, media and government. Outside of my role I work to promote a career in aviation to young people to ensure we have a diverse pipeline of the aviators of tomorrow.

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.

Given the size of British Airways as an organisation, I learn something new each day and I think it's important to succeed at British Airways to relish learning new things and taking hold of opportunities. You need to be comfortable that you will never know absolutely everything, but be reassured that you have resources and colleagues who will guide you!

Don't give up! You will face several challenges along the way, and you might have to settle at one point in your career with something that isn't really fulfilling to you. Learn from your experiences, and let them be a fuel for change. Believe in yourself and never let the willingness to follow your passion die. Take risks even if it means leaving the comfort zone and the security buffer. And most importantly, surround yourself with positive people, who will believe in you, see your potential and encourage you to jump into the unknown when you feel scared to do it. The reward is big, trust me!
