A young, inspired individual who loves to learn. With both of my parents and 6 family members who all have experience in the aviation and travel industry, it’s fair to say that I have aviation in my blood. I have always been determined to find opportunities within this great industry. I was fortunate enough to have earned a position as an apprentice mechanic with British Airways just after I completed my final year of High School. I hope to become the first Aircraft Engineer within my family in the near future. I have ambitions to join the bigger engineering operation down at London Heathrow and I’m aware that I must work hard to get there. I have been driven from a young age to get involved with aircraft and engineering. I have strengths in both mathematics and physics, furthermore since completing my HNC at Ayrshire college I have unlocked a new found interest of electronic & avionic systems. I am a person who asks a great volume of questions. I want to understand the reason for carrying out certain tasks and why we carry them out. I connect very well with individuals who want to impart their knowledge to people who want to learn. I have been lucky to have had so many great mentors at my time at British Airways so far. I see great value in asking questions, both for a strong engineering culture and for building meaningful relationships within teams. Having been granted numerous opportunities to work with various teams within my apprenticeship, I have taken a strong attraction to the work performed by the Avionic teams. I find the fault finding work interesting, challenging and very rewarding. I am interested for the future of aircraft as they become more digitised.Another area which I am passionate about is composite repairs. The intricacies and care that must be taken when working with different fibres and resins is unmatched. The material is often unforgiving and major focus is required when performing a repair. I have learned to be very organised and that the preparation of a repair often determines the success of the repair. Working with composites has given me great insights into the future of our industry. Composites have opened many doors in the category of sustainability. These lightweight and strong materials are becoming more common, meaning the experience in this area is valuable for the future.I am currently making progress with my CAA Part 66 ‘B’ licence, carrying out modules and gathering tasks for my CAP 741 Log Book. I like to get involved where I can around the business and I am always looking to improve myself.
