Captain Mum promotes family-friendly aviation, balancing careers with family life.

About Me

Captain Mum is a personal journey and advocacy platform created by a dedicated pilot and parent who is passionate about balancing the demands of a high-flying career with the joys and challenges of raising a family. As a professional navigating the dual responsibilities of the cockpit and the home, I understand firsthand the unique challenges that come with this lifestyle.

Through Captain Mum, I advocate for a family-friendly workplace in the aviation industry, where parents can thrive both in their careers and at home. My mission is to inspire and support other parents in aviation, showing that it is possible to soar to new heights while nurturing a family.

Join me as I champion the cause for a more supportive, flexible, and family-oriented aviation industry—where every parent can succeed in both their professional and personal lives.
