Flight Attendant 

Can you tell us more about your career path?
While I was studying at LaSalle College in the Tourism Techniques program, I got a job working at the airport as a passenger service agent for Swissport.

I increasingly took on more responsibilities. I became the lead agent and was responsible for delegating my coworkers to ensure the planes left on schedule. This job was very rewarding and an excellent beginning to my career in the aviation industry.

It ultimately gave me the courage to apply for a flight attendant job. 

Though I have a passion for travel, I had always feared flying. But working at the airport, I saw how many flights left every single day without error. I developed greater trust and I decided to take a leap of faith. 

I applied to Air Canada Express, based in Toronto, and got the job. So I packed my bags and moved six hours away!

I hope to eventually transition to another company, which will allow me to fly to even further destinations and see more of this beautiful world. The sky is not the limit in the aviation industry.
