Switching careers

People often ask me about working in the airline industry—how I got in, and if I liked it. I always encourage them to try it out because everyone’s experience is unique. I met people who absolutely loved the job, who truly thrived in the lifestyle, while others treated it as a short adventure, savoring it but knowing it wasn’t forever. As for me, I had a great time flying, but eventually, I felt a calling for something different. Switching careers wasn’t easy, but I knew it was possible. Many people feel like they have to stay in one place or industry, but I’m here to say you can step out of the “bubble” and start over as many times as you need. I believe it’s never too late to pursue something new, and our dreams can shift over time. I hope to inspire others, not only those in aviation but anyone feeling a pull toward something else. There’s courage in choosing a new path, and it’s okay to go after it. The adventure of discovering what’s next can be just as fulfilling as the first dream.
