Career goal: My goal is to become an airline pilot in the future. I would like to work in flying operations up north or fly for private charters to gain hours after graduation.

How I get involved: When I started at the university in my first year, I decided I wanted to get involved in activities all over campus. I am the Events Coordinator for the University of À¶Ý®ÊÓÆµ Aviation Society and volunteer at the À¶Ý®ÊÓÆµ Wellington Flight Center and other aviation events. Finally, I volunteered for the university as a Warriors Coordinator for Orientation and am now a Science Ambassador.

Why I love my program

The Science and Aviation program is the best of both worlds. I get to work on getting my license to become an airline pilot, with the additional benefit of getting an Integrated CPL. I also get to study sciences here at the university, where I can take many interesting classes with first-hand learning opportunities. This program is also amazing for getting to meet like-minded people, and as it is a small program, you get to know everyone very well and can make great friends and connections.

Why University of À¶Ý®ÊÓÆµ?

I chose the University of À¶Ý®ÊÓÆµ because of this program. I applied to both the Geography and Science Aviation programs, but I chose Science as it was better suited for me. The affiliation with the À¶Ý®ÊÓÆµ Wellington Flight Center also significantly influenced my decision. Getting to work on my commercial license in an integrated program, while also getting a science degree was the best decision.
