About the Author:

I started my journey in aviation in 2011. It was a challenge to be a student pilot and a breastfeeding mum at the same time, but it was manageable. I spent most of my aviation career as an aviation quality and safety subordinate. I was pushed to learn writing without puns, as manuals should not have any double meaning. I have flown Cessna 150, C-172, and Airbus A320. Aside from flying, I wrote nonfiction books in English and Indonesian. So far, I have written seven nonfiction books. Five of them were published in 2023. This book, Growing Her Wings: A Romantic Novel for Aspiring Aviatrices, will be the first YA novel I write.
