6. What does the expression "Women in aviation" mean to you?
When I think about "Women in aviation", I think about excellence. Everybody knows that women can be very detailed so, of course, the female point of view is precious and a good chance for aviation to grow. We need more and more women with the dream and passion for this profession.
I work in a team of men. I collaborate with three office colleagues and five technicians, and I am the only woman, let alone being in constant contact with pilots – who are mostly male. The fact that I am a woman has never affected the way people look at me or judge the job that I do.
7. How did you experience living during the COVID-19 lockdown?
If there is one thing that COVID-19 has taught me, it is greater flexibility. I used to use zero social media in my daily life, and then, all of a sudden, I was isolated! I felt forced to change to be in contact with the people I love and to be able to work well.
8. How did it make you grow professionally?
Being at home during spring made me realise that working from home made no difference to my productivity because I had learnt how to work remotely.
9. What is your future career aspiration?
I want to grow in my position and when I have enough experience I would like to become a CAMO manager; I trust my team to help me grow in the role and finally make it possible for me to make headway. I am really lucky because in my department I have found an excellent manager, who passes on his knowledge to me every day. We work with an excellent MCC who teaches me his technical and practical experience.
Safety and quality are also two exciting departments. For now I can’t say whether I will switch to one of those – never say never! Surely it is important to know about these two departments to have a better managerial view.
10. The future of aviation is ….?
Paperless and focussed on digitalisation. I believe in adapting the way we work to the new technologies.There is so much to do when it comes to being greener, and this includes the use of technology to waste less paper. All maintenance documents should be digitised soon. We believe that digital twin maintenance will be the future for aviation too.

I am glad to be working for GlobeAir, a company which offers carbon offsetting programs and is conscious about the importance of the environment.
