What is your favorite part of your job?
My favorite part of the job is collaborating with clients on a variety of projects that are unique to each airport. That, in addition to working with volunteer Airport Commissioners, each with their own diverse backgrounds, has afforded me many unique experiences and friendships within the aviation industry.
