Profile

I joined the University College Birmingham teaching team after a 15-year career with British Airways as Eurofleet cabin crew. During this time, I gained a wealth of customer service experience as well as an in-depth knowledge of the aviation industry. During my career, I was involved in the trials and opening of Terminal 5 at Heathrow as well as spending some time supporting the Community Learning Centre at British Airways’ Head Office.

Before flying, I was a resort controller for a tour operator overseas for almost 4 years, managing airport operations and customer service representatives, and ensuring targets were met both in the ski and summer programmes for MyTravel mostly in France, Spain and Italy.

I have a passion for travel and learning languages with a degree in French and German and a working knowledge of both Spanish and Italian, having worked in both countries. I have also taught English in Germany, which not only allowed me to develop my teaching skills but also immerse myself in the local culture. I enjoy exploring new places and am always planning my next adventure.
