I began my flying journey with a trial lesson back in 2013 and haven’t looked back since. The modular training route suited me well. After two and a half years of training, I landed my first job as a flight instructor near London, teaching ab initio students. Since then, I’ve taught over 100 students and have continued instructing throughout my career.
I completed my instrument rating and moved into the charter sector — flying government officials, celebrities and private clients across the UK and Europe. I then moved on to spend four and a half years flying air ambulance missions — where I also met Henrietta. This experience opened the door to my current role in search and rescue, which I intend to stay in for a long time.
Helicopter piloting has always been a real passion of mine and I genuinely love what I do. I’m always keen to share my journey and help others with theirs — whether that’s through this online course, mentoring or future career development advice.
My passion for helicopters began at 14, when I had a trial lesson in 2003. I began formal flight training in Florida, flying the Schweizer S300 and followed an integrated pathway to gain both my UK and American licences. After returning to the UK, I completed my instrument rating on the AS355 (Twin Squirrel) before starting work offshore.
I flew the Sikorsky S-92 and the AW189 out of Aberdeen and Norwich in support of the oil and gas industry. For the past five years, I’ve been flying the Airbus H145 as a HEMS pilot on air ambulance operations.
Alongside my flying career, I’m also a mum of three. I’m passionate about raising awareness that this is a career open to women, too. With fewer than 5% of UK helicopter pilots being women — around 40 of us in total — I believe visibility and representation matter and I’m keen to help change that.
