'BE THE CHANGE YOU WISH TO SEE IN THE WORLD' MAHATMA GANDHI

For her entire aviation career she has had to challenged herself, rise above and beyond what she thought was possible and what many told her, could not be achieved.  

Tammy became one of the first women to fly a training fighter jet aircraft in Australia, qualified as the fifth woman in the world to fly with the Reno Air Racing Jet class , and she has lead the way throughout her self driven career by obtaining ratings on aircraft that very few men and women hold. She is relatable to women and men with a fascinating narrative of exactly what it takes to be a woman in a male dominated field. Tammy offers real-world lessons about pursuing her dream, making choices, all while building a family and achieving success in her career.

"Aviation can be a challenging environment, not only during training but on a daily basis we train to deal with situations good and bad.  As a woman in this field, we can also face additional challenges, that often men can not relate to or even experience.  This is why it is so important to have female role models and a network of people to support you on your aviation journey.  I found throughout my career there was very little support in this space for women, so I set about making a positive change to help women in the field.  I established Women in Aviation Australia in 2015 to provide a place for women in the industry to gain support, mentoring and networking opportunities and I continue to support and mentor women looking to enter the field."
