Kia Ora fellow Massey Alumni, it has been about 17 years since I graduated, and I have been lucky to have been in employment ever since. Immediately after graduating Massey, I found a job as a pilot with Susi Air. After two years I returned home to Singapore and flew with Silkair for six years. My family and I decided to take a different route from other countrymen, and we travelled to Dubai for, up to now, another eight years. About 1.5 years ago I became a Captain with Emirates Airline and I remember thinking of my times at Massey flying a Piper Cherokee. How time flies! I am sure for those of you who have travelled the world, our paths may have crossed somehow. If you fly on Emirates, and you hear my name whilst we are making the welcome announcement, please remember to say hi. Thank you for the three memorable years I spent at Massey, blue skies everyone.

My many tertiary qualifications gained via Massey University range from a BA in English to a PhD in Psychology and were achieved over a period of 23 years! Since graduating with an MA in Psychology (First Class Honours) in 2003 I have become a registered NZ psychologist with over 20 years experience as a CBT therapist. As a result of completing the BA in English Literature, I was inspired to write two novels and a non-fiction book which were published in New Zealand, Ireland and the UK and am now in the process of completing my fourth book. So my time spent studying at Massey University has inspired and enabled me to recreate myself in the most astonishing way! I will be eternally grateful for the opportunities that this wonderful university provided.
