Meet the Team
How long have you been working
for Flybe and what attracted you to
your role?
I’ve just celebrated my first
anniversary at Flybe. I’ve always been
a bit of a country bumpkin and love
that I am able to work for Europe’s
largest regional airline in the
gorgeous Devon countryside.
What does your day-to-day
job involve?
My job involves planning and
implementing Flybe’s marketing
campaigns, including advertising,
website content management, social
media and emails. I’ve recently
been involved in the launch of
FlyShe
(flyshe.co.uk), an initiative
to inspire young girls to dream big
and consider careers such as pilots or
aviation engineers. I’m also a Charity
Champion for our chosen charity,
Cancer Research UK, so I’m always
coming up with crazy fundraising
ideas.
What do you enjoy most
about your job?
The travel industry is very fast-paced
and exciting, and there’s always
something different to work on. I
work with a fantastic team who are
more like a family and make me laugh
every day.
What’s the most memorable thing
that’s happened to you at work?
Last Christmas, I organised a
giant snow globe to be placed at
Southampton Airport. It was really
magical and got everyone into the
Christmas spirit.
What three words would your
friends use to describe you?
Laughs very loudly!
What do you enjoy doing when
you’re not at work?
Exploring the local area with
my husband and family, going to
cheesy clubs to dance to
The Greatest
Showman
soundtrack and being my
cat’s human. Her name is Chewie
and she’s a bit of a diva!
Where’s your favourite Flybe
destination and why?
My cousin lives in Guernsey,
so I try to see her when I can.
It’s just a quick 30-minute
flight from Exeter.
What would you recommend doing
or seeing there?
Get a boat to Sark Island and hire a
bike. There are no cars on the island
so it’s very peaceful. Cross La Coupée
(a narrow ridge on top of the cliffs) to
explore Little Sark for some beautiful
views.
As a child, you wanted to be…?
An actress. I still enjoy acting, I’ve
just taken part in a spooky Halloween
maze, playing a surgeon!
What’s one thing people are most
surprised to discover about you?
I was part of England U14 girls’
basketball team. I played on the wing
and could always weave my way
through people to score lay-ups!
What’s your guilty pleasure?
Cheese… Camembert ranks top of
the cheese scale.
