Why do you love aviation?
As a Filipino American, I spent my childhood surrounded by family members spread out all over the country and the world. As a result, traveling and experiencing different cultures became a big part of my life from a young age. Over the years, I've been fascinated by the evolution of aircraft technology during my explorations and adventures.
What is your industry focus?
I seek to learn about the latest aviation and travel industry advancements. In my pursuit of knowledge, I believe that sustainable aviation is the industry's future and that we must adopt innovative and eco-friendly practices that reduce our carbon footprint.
What is your favourite aircraft and why?
The Airbus A321neo is my favorite aircraft. I love the modern cabin design, state-of-the-art technology, and first-class service. With comfortable seats and ample legroom, I look forward to flying on the A321neo every time. It's the perfect combination of comfort, style, and performance.
