My passion for aviation started at a very young age. When I was 12 years old, I watched a McDonnell Douglas DC-9 fly by my house and was mesmerised by it. I remember thinking that the pilot had the greatest job in the world. At 161 obtained a private pilot licence, and was teased by my friends and family as I didn't even have a driver's licence to get myself to the flying club. I enrolled in the Airline Flying programme at the Cegep de Chic-outimi, a community college. Fifteen years after reading Around the World in 80 Days by Jules Verne, I flew a VIP military aircraft and circled the world westbound in eight days. During this time, I realised I had truly accomplished my dream. I still reflect on that as one of my proudest moments.
