From South Africa Samantha started flying when she was 16 years old and money was tight, she had to catch snakes to sell to pay for her training at one stage. Changing landing lights, debt collecting, washing aircraft – she did it all. Her dream was to become a search and rescue pilot. And so she did it. She became one of the youngest Captains in the South African Police service at age 20. She is still passionate about rescue flying as she is still a captain on an Air Ambulance service in Joburg. Samantha also has a Bachelor of commerce degree from the University of South Africa (Cum laude) as well as a Post graduate qualification in Financial planning from the University of the Free State. She is an Aviation Specialist Financial planner for a local financial services provider and she helps pilots take control of their finances in the same way they control their aircraft and guide them in spreading their wings of wealth. She is passionate about helping women find their rightful place in a male dominated industry.
