Note From Dawn
My involvement in the aviation industry started early, when at 16 I trained as a private pilot. After high school, I enrolled at Trinity Western University with the goal of entering their aviation program. However, it was at this time I was successful in my application to Air Traffic Control with Transport Canada. 32 years later, I am still a controller and part of the world's leading ANSP. Ultimately, my first flying lesson resulted in a career in ATC, where after more than 30 years, I still look forward to going to work every day. In my roles as air traffic controller, traffic management specialist and supervisor with Transport Canada and NavCanada, I have been an instructor, involved in safety management development, collaborated with airlines and airport authorities and worked with Transport Canada and the FAA. I am passionate about learning and helping others grow their knowledge in aspects of the aviation world other than just flying. In the aviation industry, no one person or group operates as a silo, we are all connected and must take a collaborative approach to solutions. My goal is to help individuals and companies find innovative solutions to their aviation challenges in an effort to create harmony, efficiency and confidence in their operation and the system as a whole. |
