Why did you want to become a pilot?
I was lucky enough to travel as child and this inspired me to become a pilot. When I was at school I investigated pilot careers but was advised against it as I was female. After leaving college I then independently started out my flying training.
How did you fund your training?
Mostly self-funded, the BCPL & Flying Instructor rating part sponsored by Cabair.
Was training a breeze or did you find it a challenge?
Some aspects of training were a challenge, but one I relished.

The TRI course was the most challenging, yet also the most rewarding, consolidating all the pilot competencies to provide effective training.

Early shifts!
