I’m SO excited to finally share that I’ve been selected for TUI’s fully funded MPL Pilot Cadet Scheme, where I’ll be training to fly the Boeing 737 from September!✈️🩵

Becoming a pilot has been my dream and passion since I was a little girl (as you can probably tell from the pictures haha), and I still can’t quite believe it’s happening. Out of over 12,000 applicants, only 30 of us were selected and I’m honestly still in shock.

Over the past few years, I’ve been juggling a full time job in cybersecurity sales, studying for my degree, serving in the RAF Reserves and working towards my Private Pilot’s Licence. It hasn’t always been easy, but honestly every late night, early morning, and weekend of training/studying has been worth it for this moment.

I am beyond grateful and appreciative of everyone who has supported and believed in me along the way, my old air cadet squadron @2409haltonatc that took me on my first ever flight, and especially to @theairleague - whose scholarships made aviation accessible for someone like me. Their work as a charity is incredible and I’m so proud to have been part of it.❤️

I can’t wait to begin this next chapter in the skies and be part of the TUI family ! 🛫🩵👩‍✈️
