About
Aviation, cabin crew and travel & tourism professional with extensive international airline experience, supported by freelance lecturing, professional training and a First Class degree in Airlines and Airport Management. My background includes cabin crew operations, passenger safety, aviation procedures, customer service, crew teamwork, airport operations and hospitality, giving me practical experience directly relevant to teaching Level 2 Aviation and Cabin Crew and Level 2/3 Travel and Tourism. Alongside my aviation career, I have delivered freelance teaching and professional training in aviation safety, leadership, business management, HR management and related subjects.
This has developed my ability to plan and deliver learning, explain complex information clearly, support different learning needs and use practical industry examples to make lessons more engaging and relevant. My experience also includes front-office and reservations work within the hospitality sector, strengthening my understanding of the wider travel and tourism industry. I am confident supporting learners with both academic knowledge and practical preparation for careers in cabin crew, airport operations, passenger services, customer service and tourism.
I also bring strong safeguarding, learner-support and record-keeping experience from my current work in supported accommodation and residential care. I understand the importance of creating an inclusive learning environment, monitoring progress, maintaining professional standards and helping students build confidence, motivation and clear progression goals. Having experienced different academic pathways myself, I understand that students do not always immediately recognise their strengths or know which career route suits them best.
I believe my combination of aviation industry experience, tourism knowledge and teaching experience would allow me not only to deliver the curriculum effectively, but also to help students recognise their potential and prepare realistically for employment in the aviation and travel sector.
