Summary
My passion for aviation has shaped my life in such a positive way that it made me realize that going to work doesn't have to be a burden. If you love what you do then you never really go to work. This is what aviation does for me, it brings me joy. I know it's not going to come easy and that I'm going to need to work for it. I am a dedicated student, a reliable employee and also a positive person who is ready to learn and add value to your team.
