Summary

Being part of an integral team that supports all airline system related activities, I have acquired skills that allow me to have a problem solving mentality and service orientated. The role provided the opportunity to learn and have in-depth system knowledge of reservations, ticketing, check-in and commercial systems amongst others. Have a keen eye for detail and analytically minded. This experience in the industry has provided opportunities to investigate system issues and provide solutions to issues raised. I have accomplished working with both internal and external vendors to support and implement applications using standard tools and frameworks. My goal is to provide superior quality of work. Being part of an airline during COVID I have learnt to be agile and adapt to changing conditions quickly and effectively. I enjoy challenges and view them as opportunities to learn and grow. I bring 15 years of experience in the airline industry.
