1. Could you tell us what you love the most about your job?
Especially now during COVID, doing the repatriation flights and bringing families together was by far the most satisfying part of this job. To be associated with a company like CemAir is such an honor. It’s more family than anything else.

3. What has been the toughest part of your job?
Difficult to answer because if you do something you love and are passionate about, you never work a day in your life.

Never stop dreaming!!! because without dreams so many wonderful things would have never come to be.
