On this show we sat down with Lea Vesic from Women In Aviation International. Lea’s a passionate and pragmatic aviation professional. She is a fully qualified instrument rated commercial pilot and holds a diploma of aviation management. Now, as you would know, there are many career paths that a person can talk, and many are dominated by men and aviation is certainly one of these industries. Lea’s is a strong advocate for gender parity in the workplace and her work with the Australian Chapter of Women in Aviation International is going a very long way to making this happen sooner rather than later. WAI is a national volunteer run not for profit that has been established to provide networking, mentoring and scholarship opportunities for young girls and women who are striving for challenging and fulfilling careers in the aviation and aerospace industries. It’s my pleasure to be speaking with Lea who is working hard to spread the word that women can do it just as well in aviation as men can. https://waiaustralia.org/ https://www.linkedin.com/in/leavesic/

Its my absolute pleasure to be speaking with Lea who’s working hard to spread the word that girls can do it just as well as boys can.For me as a dad of an 11-year old daughter its inspiring to see Lea out there in a male dominated industry getting the word out and sharing the message that aviation is just as rewarding for women as it is for men, and most importantly, she’s spreading the message that women can do it just as well as men can.Lea’s a strong advocate for equality and loves to share her passion for aviation with everyone she encounters. If you’re a woman listening to this or anyone facing a glass ceiling because of something silly like gender, then I know your going to be inspired by Lea’s GO ALL IN attitude to life and aviation.
