How long have you been flying for? I have been flying for just over two years.

What is your favourite place to fly/aerodrome to visit and why? My favourite aerodrom to fly to right now is Gillies Bay. You can camp next to the airstrip and they have courtesy bikes that you can ride! But make sure to bring a bike pump.

What is your favourite club aeroplane? My favourite aeroplane is BMO because it was my first solo plane.

What do you enjoy most about flying? I think I enjoy almost everything about flying - I enjoy the challenges it brings, getting to share it with my family and friends, the amazing people you meet at the flying club, and you get to see some pretty spectacular views!

What is your go to in-flight snack? Definitely dried mango!

One piece of advice you’d pass along to other pilots? Try to speak with everyone you meet in aviation, because you can learn a lot (good and bad) from other people’s flying experiences!

What's a truly memorable flight or experience that you've had? I think one of the flights I remember the most was when my instructor and I were flying back from Nanaimo on my first night training flight. We were asked to do a few orbits because someone had dropped their phone on the runway! We had quite a laugh with the Tower.
