Global Training
What do you think is in store for airport training in the coming years? I recently wrote a magazine article about our industry, and specifically the fact that it is forever changing.

One of my great interests is photography, which I use quite extensively in the trainings by using the “pictures speak louder than words” approach. I enjoy taking photos of aircraft but I also love animal photography, in particular the challenge of taking action shots of birds. That is the joy of travel: I can combine my work and my hobbies together!
