Q & A with Miriam
What advice would you give someone starting out in the aviation industry?
Knowledge is power but acknowledging that we don’t have the knowledge is also powerful. Be brave and admit if you don’t know something. It’s ok; we can learn we are here to support each other and grow.
What is your work motto?
Do whatever it takes. I like to know if something doesn’t happen, it wasn’t because I didn’t try. I must be comfortable that I tried my best to make it happen.
Where is the best place you’ve traveled to and why?
Japan as it provides a very stark contrast in cultures. The traditional juxtaposed with super modern provides a very full range of things to see.
