In 2015 I started my PPL training back in grade 12 unfortunately between finishing Matric and starting University, flying took the back seat. But it was always what I wanted to do. 

I left University and joined AVIC International Flight Academy to continue my PPL and CPL training. Qualifying in 2017 with a SACAA CPL ME/IR.

After completing my Grade 3 instructor rating at Stellenbosch Flying Club, I began instructing at AIFA. Working my way from a Grade 3 instructor to Grade 2 ME/IR instructor and becoming a Flight Commander at AIFA. Being in charge of 4 instructors and 20 students training programs and progress.

In July 2021 I left AIFA to begin my licence conversion to fly in the UK.

I completed the UK and IAA frozen ATPL skills tests in March 2023, with APS MCC set to be completed in December 2023.

Between completing the skills tests and beginning the APS MCC, I have been working for the The Boeing Company in the early career development team as a Subject Matter Expert (SME). Developing, reviewing and updating the EASA ATPL theory material and creating the Area 100 KSA training program.

I have since interviewed and chosen to join the Ryanair Cadet program for First Officers, my type rating and training will begin in April 2024.
